J2 - Zip File Download

[Shah Amit]

Hi all,
I need to download a zip file from the server to client browser. I have a 
servlet which does this --

           FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(uFile);
           PrintWriter pw = response.getWriter();
           int c = -1;
           //             Loop to read and write bytes.
           while ((c = fis.read()) != -1) {
               pw.print((char) c);
           }
           //             Close output and input resources.
           fis.close();
           pw.flush();
Here is the servlet mapping from web.xml --
 <servlet-mapping>
   <servlet-name>UploadServlet</servlet-name>
   <url-pattern>/servlet/uploadServlet</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>
And here is what I wrote in one of my jsp's --
 <html:link href="/servlet/uploadServlet?fileName=c:\\temp\\test.zip" 
title="Download">Download</html:link>

When I click on the link, the whole setup does work. The only thing is, 
instead of giving me a download window where I can "save as" the file, it 
simply writes the entire file in the portlet itself so I see a bunch of 
garbage text in my portlet.

Please please I really need help with this :-(
Thanks,
Amit
