Thankyou, that has done the trick.
Although the file is saved with the intended file name the download
intercepting window still comes up with the servlets name ie
'You are downloading the file MyServlet from Localhost'
Anyone know the way round that one?
I suppose you could sendRedirect to a servlet mapped as /download/* and then
call it via download/myFilename but that's a terrible solution!!
