Why don't you just handle it by putting something in their session
saying that they filled out the form correctly, and write a downloader
servlet that looks for that something, and will only send them the bits
if they've filed out the form? Writing a servlet to send a file is
pretty darned tri
If you make them login, you could put a security constraint on your
downloads directory. That would pretty well seal it up, I believe =)

you can use a filter to see if the referring page is your form and then
allow the download
needs to and it gets redirected when you want it to.

Off the top of my head, couldn't you "pipe" together a FileInputStream and a
ServletOutputStream ?
Something like:
- open input stream
- open output stream to browser
- read in file, piping it to output stream
- close file stream
- close servlet stream
The user would never know where the file

Certainly not the most elegant solution but you could keep the real file
in a unreachable location, and upon submitting it
Certainly not the most elegant solution but you could keep the real file
in a unreachable location, and upon submitting it copy's the file to a
cookie_date_time_filename.ext and has them download that. Then you run a
cleaner script to erase these temp files after 24 hours.
