Hi, If I understood you correctly, you are trying to have a default filename when you click download from within your application. In this case here's how it may be done:-
response.setContentType("application/ms-excel"); // or whatever the content format is... response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=ShipmentReport" + accountNbr + ".xls"); where "response" is reference to the HttpServletResponse, and "accountNbr" is just a local variable to distinguish between different version reports (if any!) HTH, Dharmendra ps: have a good day! -----Original Message----- From: Jason Lea [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 23, 2005 1:39 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Set the file name in html:file Browsers don't allow you to set a file name, as it could be a security risk eg set file name to be c:\windows\someimportantfile.txt then get the form to auto submit and send the file to the server Anuradha S.Athreya wrote: >Hello, > >In the JSP, I need to set the default file name in the JSP. >I'm using html:file taglib. >I'm retrieving the file name (to be set) from a bean.
