Use a FileDialog bean
to provide a dialog where the user can open or save files. File
dialogs are useful in stand-alone applications and are not typically used in
applets because of security constraints.
The FileDialog bean represents a system file dialog. The bean appears on the free-form surface as an icon because it cannot be composed.
