First of all you should specify mime type of your file by
response.setContentType, for example "application/pdf"
for pdf files.
Also it will be useful to specify file name by
res.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment;filename="+filename);
Then you read your file from database by
resultset.getBinaryStream and output it to client
by sending it to OutputStream (response.getOutputStream)
