hi,
I also had the problem in downloading the file. I tried it this way.
First, set the response's content type to APPLICATION/OCTET-STREAM. This
value is not case-sensitive. Then, add an HTTP response header named
Content-Disposition and give it this value:
attachment; filename=theFileName
Where "theFileName" is the default name for the file that appears on the
File Download dialog box. This is normally the same name as the file, but
does not need to be.
Finally, this page demonstrates how to send a file to the user's browser:
// fetch the file
String filename = "companySecret.txt";
String filepath = "C:\\";
response.setContentType(
"APPLICATION/OCTET-STREAM");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition",
"attachment; filename=\""
+ filename + "\"");
java.io.FileInputStream fileInputStream =
new java.io.FileInputStream(filepath
+ filename);
int i;
while ((i=fileInputStream.read()) != -1) {
out.write(i);
}
fileInputStream.close();
out.close();
I had tried it on tomcat. Hope it helps.
