Thanks for responding.

Yes, i do the following:
response.setContentType("application/zip");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" +
zipFileName);
response.setContentLength((int)tempCSVFile.length());
BufferedInputStream bufferedInput = new BufferedInputStream(new
FileInputStream(tempCSVFile));
BufferedOutputStream bufferedOutput = new
BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
while((leftToRead = bufferedInput.read(buffer)) != -1) {
bufferedOutput.write(buffer, 0, leftToRead);
}
bufferedInput.close();
bufferedOutput.flush();
bufferedOutput.close();
if(!errors.isEmpty()) {
saveErrors(request, errors);
return(mapping.findForward("fail"));
}
return (mapping.findForward("success"));
I create errors earlier in the class, for example:
error = new ActionError("error.ExportAction.domainError");
errors.add("exportDomainError", error);
The errors get output to my jsp file if i have the code related to sending the
zip file commented out. When it isn't comment the file gets sent back properly
but i get no errors sent back to the jsp. Is this normal for struts?

I was thinking of doing something like this, but was hoping i didn't have to.
Can anyone confirm that i can't send both ActionErrors(or ActionMessags) and a
file back to the client?
