hi, sorry to keep nagging this subject but it doesnt seem to be working
for me.. I went to the archives and found some more helpful posts
including code. But when I implemented it, it didnt actually download the
file. Here's my servlet now:
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
throws ServletException, IOException
{
ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(req.getInputStream());
ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(resp.getOutputStream());
ServletOutputStream so = resp.getOutputStream();
try{
UserData data = (UserData)in.readObject();
resp.setContentType("application/octet-stream;
name="+data.getFileName());
resp.setHeader("Content-Disposition","inline;
filename="+data.getFileName());
resp.setHeader("Content-encoding","binary");
try {
//from oreilly package
ServletUtils.returnFile("/tmp"+data.getFileName(),so);
} catch(FileNotFoundException fe) {
System.out.println("File not found");
}
out.writeObject("Done");
}
catch (java.lang.Exception ex)
{A
ex.printStackTrace ();
}
// Close the I/O streams
in.close();
out.close();
}
When run it finds the file, does nothing, then returns the 'Done',
when I exclude the ObjectOutputStream the servlet doesnt initialize or do
anything.
What am I not doing to get the file to download?
Thanks
Sohaila
