Kevin,
I had to create an action class for each type of file that can be
downloaded. In my MVC setup I can map action WITH extension to the action
class. So, if extension is "do", it gets truncated, otherwise the full name
is used. On the downside, I also need to map the designated name to the
controller servlet in the web.xml descriptor, i.e.,
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>main</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>main</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/report.txt</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
This works for me since I only use two file names. As an alternative, I was
also thinking about enhancing my MVC infrastructure so it would handle
multiple extensions.
Hope this helps,
Alexander Ananiev.
