I am providing an anchor in my Spring MVC application as follows:

<a href='<c:url value="/resources/um.pdf"/>' type='application/pdf' target='_blank'>Download User Manual</a>

But instead of serving the pdf file the server is returning 404 error , while it is serving the css, js and image files in the same directory perfectly from the same anchor.

Are you sure the rendered HTML (i.e. what the browser is receiving) is actually a valid link to the PDF in question? – freefaller Mar 05 '13 at 10:49
Yes! as I have verified it by changing the filename to another css or js one in the same anchor tag. – 6nagi9 Mar 05 '13 at 10:51
Forgive me if this is a dumb comment. What's the `` for? Why not just put `href="/resources/um.pdf"`? – Barney Mar 05 '13 at 14:35
@Barney, href is context sensitive and counters that behaviour. – 6nagi9 Mar 11 '13 at 10:14
