java - Create a new file at webcontent or web-inf in a Spring MVC Application -

   @requestmapping(value = "/upload", method = requestmethod.post)    public @responsebody string upload(multiparthttpservletrequest request, httpservletresponse response) {                        iterator<string> itr =  request.getfilenames();       string filename=itr.next();      multipartfile file = request.getfile(filename);       if (!file.isempty()) {             try {                 file filenew=new file(file.getoriginalfilename());                   byte[] bytes = file.getbytes();                 bufferedoutputstream stream = new bufferedoutputstream(new fileoutputstream(filenew));                  stream.write(bytes);                 stream.close();                  system.out.println(filenew.getabsolutepath());                  return "you uploaded " + filename + " " + filename + "-uploaded !";             } catch (exception e) {                 return "you failed upload " + filename + " => " + e.getmessage();             }         } else {             return "you failed upload " + filename + " because file empty.";         }     } 

file gets created @

f:\springsource-tool-suite-2.8.1.release-e3.7.1-win32\springsource\sts-2.8.1.release\ 

to make long story short, create new file @ webcontent or web-inf.

thanks!!

• can autowired servletcontext in controller, real path method

  @autowired servletcontext servletcontext;

• or vzamanillo's answer

  request.getsession().getservletcontext().getrealpath("/web-inf/");
