map file directory from a java server to local machine
Question
I have created a java server application which will take GET requests and return files to the browser. Also the files are downloaded to the directory using "content-disposition:attachment" in header.But this only downloads as files, I want to download as a folder and map it to a local directory. for example localhost:8080/xyz.jpg gives u an image .But localhost:8080/src/xyz.jpg should be downlaoded as src folder with an image in it eg: downloads/src/xyz.jpg. Currently if i do that ,it downloads as just a file. Since you guys asked.Here is the example code i used :) .thanks

You can't do this using the HTTP protocol and a normal browser, there is no MIME type for folders. Your browser is able to download only files.
If you want to do this through HTTP :
Option 1: Generate a "zip" file (or some other format that enables you to package a folder tree into a single file) which contains the folder tree and send that to the browser.
Option 2: Develop a custom client program that is able to interpret the response that it gets from the server and create the corresponding folders on the local filesystem.
