>From what I understand about the question, it sounds like the user is downloading a file from the server and you want to abort the request after the action executes. It also sounds like the download is taking place in the Action. What I don't understand is how the users web page could be changed after the download is complete. Any HTML that is sent would then be in the download stream. A redirect may change the web page after the download however that is not likely. In either case I think that there is a issue in the way that you are using an Action. The executing Action should not be sending anything to the Response. I am assuming that the only reason that the Response is in the Action.execute signature is for setting/retrieving cookies. The best solution would be for the Action to forward to a Servlet that would send the resource to the client.
