PDF files work OK for us. It displays right in Explorer (with the plug-in
from Adobe). For files that Explorer does not know how to handle, I put in
the content-disposition fix I got from this list, and that worked great.
Here's the basics of my code...
(The method "writeContent" is basically a loop that gets a byte stream from
the file and writes that directly to the output stream.)
>>>
protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException
{
FormFile file = (FormFile) request.getAttribute("uploadedFile");
// Set servlet response type -- if not set assume text
response.setContentType( (file.getContentType() == null) ?
"text/plain" :
file.getContentType() );
// Set the content type so download displays filename instead of
request URI
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=\"" +
file.getFileName() + "\"");
// Get an output stream
ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
// output the file
writeContent( out, file );
}
