The forward tag expects a url that is relative to the ServletContext root - if you
have a web application that you have named myApp and you access it at
http://www.myHost.com/myApp, then the root of the Context is /.
if Hepek is the root of your ServletContext try
<%
String path = "/PdfFile/" + filePath
%>
<jsp:forward page="<%=path%>" />
