This step is handled by the copy1() controller method. After the destination folder is located, the user performs the actual copy operation. The request for this step will have a "copy" parameter and is handled by the copy2() controller method.

When i looked copy.jsp file it does not has any parameter name !copy.

param="!copy" means if the request does not have a parameter "copy".

To copy a file a user has to first locate the destination folder. This step is handled by the copy1() controller method.

After the destination folder is located, the user performs the actual copy operation. The request for this step will have a "copy" parameter and is handled by the copy2() controller method.
