Just for clarity, "proxy_pass" proxies to a url, not to a file. So you
probably want it to proxy to http://127.0.0.1:8080/demo/demo3.jsp

If I've got the mapping of url/filename wrong, adjust it as necessary.

You haven't said what any *other* requests to nginx should do, so I will
show an example for only exactly what you said.

There is not an obvious mapping from /upvc to /demo/demo3.jsp, so I
won't include any kind of generic replacement here.

You will find very useful information on all of this at
http://nginx.org/r/proxy_pass

So, in the appropriate server block, you want something like:

location = /upvc {
rewrite ^ /demo/demo3.jsp break;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
}

This will handle requests for /upvc and /upvc?something. The documentation
should explain why it works.

All of the other directives can be added back, when you know why they
are needed here.

Cheers,
