Hi...

First you can write a simple script in AutoIt and save the file as an executable(.exe).

Ex: attachFile.exe

AutoIt Code:

WinWaitActive("Choose file")

Send("C:\attach\samplefile.txt") \\location of the file you want to attach to the form and submit

Send("{ENTER}")

 

Java Code:

package com.company;     
 import java.io.IOException;
 import com.thoughtworks.selenium.Selenium;

 public class AddAttachment {
    public static void attach(Selenium selenium, String fileName) {
       try {
          String[] commands = new String[]{};
          commands = new String[]{"c:\\test\\attachFile.exe"}; //location of the autoit executable
          Runtime.getRuntime().exec(commands);
       } catch (IOException e) {}
  
       //autoit executable is now waiting for a "Choose file" dialog to popup
       selenium.click("name=browseButton");
       //once the "Choose file" dialog is opened, the autoit will input the path and file name
    }
 }
