AFAIK Vaadin's File Browser is Coupled with Upload process . But in my case , I just need only the file browser (What I exactly need is to get the path of the file to be uploaded). Please let me know a way of implementing the file browser in vaadin.

Please see also this question and answers.
In short: No, you can't get the path of a selected file with javascript. Only the filename is possible, due to security restrictions of the webbrowsers.

Vaadin is working with javascript on the client side. It's the only thing you can safely use today. You could use a flash or .net app on your system, but then all users will have to have the plugin installed. – André Schild Oct 28 '15 at 07:06
