Added comment for clarification

            for (MultipartFile uploadfile : uploadfiles) {

                // uri = "http://192.168.56.200:8000/LATEST/documents?uri=/final-project/" + uploadfile.getOriginalFilename(); // this works, but doesn't work for the right datahase

                uri = "http://192.168.56.200:8000/LATEST/final-project?uri=/" + uploadfile.getOriginalFilename();           // provide the REST API URI

                // convert the MultipartFile into a file

                File file = new File(uploadfile.getName());          // provide the file object
