Well, what I think you're after is actually ridiculously easy to do!
Simply open up script editor and type in:
tell application "Finder"
return POSIX path of (selection as string)
end tell
And save that as a script file. Set it up as a resource in your app
and use NSAppleScript to run it. The result returned should be an
NSString of the full path to the selected file or folder. It may
need some tweaking to cope with multiple files though.

Yes, an applescript that gets the path of the selected file of the
frontmost window of the Finder is pretty easy to write. Using
NSAppleScript to run that script and get the result from it is
pretty easy as well.

Hi,
is it possible to get from a cocoa application the selected
finder file or folder?
I mean, if the finder has only select a file (not open it) can I
see the file path string in a cocoa
application?
You can use AppleEvents or an AppleScript (which uses AEs under
the hood). The latter is probably easier.
