Question

I upload my project into a server.The files on the server are the following:

• index.jsp
• pdf
• META-INF
• WEB-INF

When i have on the localhost the way that upload the pdf’s was:

     try{
        File file = new File("C:\\...\\pdf");
        uploadItem.getFileData().transferTo(file);
    }catch(Exception e){

        System.out.println(e);
    }

Now i’m using this:

     request.getServletContext().getRealPath("/pdf");

But it doesn’t work.Does anyone knows how can i store the pdf’s into this file.And moreover if i want to retrieve a pdf file from this file what should i write?

I saw from this link: Upload pdf on a server with Spring MVC

That i should write:

@RequestMapping(value="url to map", produces={"application/pdf"})

“url to map” what exactly will be?Lets say that i’m having in the pdf file:mydocument.pdf.
That mean that i have to write:

@RequestMapping(value="pdf/mydocument.pdf", produces={"application/pdf"})

Is this ok?
