What language is your CGI script going to be written in?
For that matter why don't you just re-write your CGI script in
Java?
If you just need the filename of the File Object you will just need to pass the filename as a parameter in a hidden field on a form. Then open the file as appropriate with whatever language your CGI script is written in.
