Show download popup and obtain path directory chosen by the user

Question

Hello all,
I want to show a typical window for downloading a file, where the user select the directory she/he want and give the file a name. Then, save in a string attribute to the path and file name chosen by the user.
In this way, i already have the path to save the excel i created on the PC client.

Hello Ayyapparaj,
I used the library JExcelApi. The code I use to generate the excel is as follows, where I need to include in the PATH variable the directory where the user want to save the file.
What I need is to show the window for the user to choose where they want to save the excel file and overwrite the variable path.
How do I do? Any sample code to make the save browse and get the path?
(Example: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users...etc)
try
          //Set path
          String path = "Example.xls";
          File fich = new File(path);
                //Creating Workbook.
          WritableWorkbook workbook = Workbook.createWorkbook(fich);
          //Creating sheet.
          WritableSheet sheet = workbook.createSheet("SheetExample", 0); 
          //Fill headers columns.
          sheet.addCell(new jxl.write.Label(0,0,"Name"));
          sheet.addCell(new jxl.write.Label(1,0,"Last Name"));
          sheet.addCell(new jxl.write.Label(2,0,"Amount"));
          // Fill cells.
          sheet.addCell(new jxl.write.Label(0, 1, "John"));
          sheet.addCell(new jxl.write.Label(1, 1, "Smith"));
          sheet.addCell(new jxl.write.Number(2, 1, 1.20));
          //Enter the result in the excel file.
          workbook.write();
          workbook.close();  
          System.out.println("Complete example."); 
          catch (IOException ex)
               System.out.println("Failed to create file.");
          catch (WriteException ex)
               System.out.println("Error writing file.");
