Thank you very much for your reply. Your suggestion worked though in IE the
file is opened in a new tab as opposed to save but it works on Firefox.

Yep, saw this problem just this week.
I ran the request through software that would allow me to view the header
and I saw that only the filename appeared in the contentDisposition, no
"filename="...
Add a field to your action class called contentDisposition and assign it
like this:
contentDisposition = "filename=\"" + filename + "\"";
This assumes you are using the stream result in a manner similar to this:
<result name="myDownloadName" type="stream">
<param name="bufferSize">1024</param>
</result>
I included the contentDisposition in the result like this:
<result name="myDownloadName" type="stream">
<param name="contentType">${contentType}</param>
<param
name="contentDisposition">filename=${contentDisposition}"</param>
<param name="bufferSize">1024</param>
</result>
But that didn't work, because Struts took whatever was in my
contentDisposition in my action versus using the param. So _the above
doesn't work_ because it would drop the "filename=" portion. If you used a
different variable name, then it would probably work, but I didn't go back
and try. In theory, this would work:
<result name="myDownloadName" type="stream">
<param name="contentType">${myContentType}</param>
<param
name="contentDisposition">filename=${myContentDisposition}"</param>
<param name="bufferSize">1024</param>
</result>
Assuming you had myContentType and myContentDisposition in your action.
Hope that helps.
