I found the similar problem and found the solution and i have blogged about how to upload the file using JSP   In that example i have used the absolute path  Note that if you want to route to some other URL based location you can put a ESB like WSO2 ESB

You cannot upload like this   http   grand-shopping com  lt  some folder  gt    You need a physical path exactly like in your local  C  Users puneet verma Downloads    What you can do is create some local path where your server is working  Hence you can store and retrieve the file  If you bought some domain from any websites there will be path to upload the files  You create these variable as static constant and use it based on the server you are working  Local Website

You can only use absolute path http   grand-shopping com  lt  some folder    is not an absolute path   Either you can use a path inside the application which is vurneable or you can use server specific path like in   windows - gt  C  Users puneet verma Downloads  linux - gt   opt Downloads
