serving binary files
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to server binary files through tomcat? I am creating a binary file as a result of a request and would like to let the user download it. Just setting mime type and passing through as an attachment doesn't work as write methods of the writer seem to truncate upper bits of the data. Any useful suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

RE: serving binary files
Howdy, Does anyone have a suggestion on how to server binary files through tomcat? I am creating a binary file as a result of a request and would like to let the user download it. Just setting mime type and passing through as an attachment doesn't work as write methods of the writer seem to truncate upper bits of the data. This is not specific to tomcat, it's basic servlet writing. If you're outputting binary data, don't use the writer obtained from HttpServletResponse#getWriter. Instead, use the output stream obtained from HttpServletResponse#getOutputStream. Then setting the mime type will be sufficient. Any useful suggestion would be greatly appreciated. And useless suggestions? ;) Yoav Shapira This e-mail, including any attachments, is a confidential business communication, and may contain information that is confidential, proprietary and/or privileged.
