whoops! I should have been more clear about it using the HttpServletResponse

I actually just needed to implement the ServletResponseAware interface to access the servlet response properly. Trying to set those in the JSP (through a scriplet) didn't work, but indeed doing it in the action is fine. -----Original Message----- From: Brad A Cupit [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 08 April 2008 14:25 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Downloading file rendered in JSP To set the download file name, in addition to the "text/csv" mime type (which you already have set), write the following java code in your Action or (if necessary) as Java in your JSP: response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + CSV_FILE_NAME); where CSV_FILE_NAME is the name you want the user to see for the csv file. Since this is a dynamically generated file, if you're using https and need to work in IE you may also want to set the following: response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "max-age=0"); response.setHeader("Pragma", "public"); see the following two links for more details: http://eirikhoem.wordpress.com/2007/06/15/generated-pdfs-over-https-with -internet-explorer/ http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=233446&forumID=45 Brad Cupit Louisiana State University - UIS -----Original Message----- From: David Loup [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2008 7:42 AM To: user@struts.apache.org Subject: Downloading file rendered in JSP Hi, I'm trying to make one of my pages downloadable as a CSV file. Currently my XML is configured like this: <action name="downloadCSV" class="test.struts.ListItems" method="downloadCSV"> <interceptor-ref name="standardStack"/> <result name="success">/pages/download.jsp</result> </action> And /pages/download.jsp renders the list as a CSV. I have changed the content type in the CSV: <%@ page contentType="text/csv" %> But I'd like to force the contentDisposition so that I can control the filename. I know it's easy to do that using StreamResult, but that doesn't look like the right solution for me, since I don't want to access a file on the file system and return it, but rather offer a page rendered by that JSP as downloadable. Is there any way to do this, or a way to use StreamResult and configure it so that it can work with a page rendered by a JSP?
