Forwarding and File Download problem

[Eddie Fung]

This is an old one but I have scoured the archives and not seen a definitive answer to my problem.

I am downloading a file via an Action class and want to refresh the Page display after the download completes. Now the action which should be forwarded to is not being executed. I have even tried to forward to a JSP rather than Action class but nothing seems to work.

This has been reported on more than one occasion eg:
http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?[EMAIL PROTECTED]&msgId=154587

Never found a definitive answer.

Also the dialog box that IE pops up says that "you are downloading the file: <action class name> from localhost". This is misleading as the actual dialog box that is next presented correctly names the output file name that I have set up. How can I change the name of the file on the first dialog box ?


TIA

Eddie
