Hi Elyes,

something like this here should work:

       OutputStream out = resp.getOutputStream();
FileInputStream fileStream = new FileInputStream("path/to/your/excelFile.xls");
       int bufferLen = 1024 * 8;        // 8 KB
       byte[] buffer = new byte[bufferLen];
       while (true) {
           int max = buffer.length;
           int len = fileStream.read(buffer, 0, max);
           if (len > 0)
               out.write(buffer, 0, len);
           else
               break;
       }

Bye,

Robert

Here's an example:

public class Downloader extends HttpServlet
{
private void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws
IOException
{
      resp.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
      resp.setHeader("Cache-control", "no-cache");
      resp.setIntHeader("Expires", -1);
      MyData data = new MyData();
      resp.setHeader("content-type", "application/pdf");
      resp.setHeader("content-encoding", "binary");
      resp.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;
filename=myfile.pdf");
      data.writePDFDataToOutputStream(resp.getOutputStream());

}
}

the problem is that with the html:file you must browse to an
existant file, but in my case, i wanna browse to a new file,
and then in the action i will make some treatment, generate
data and export them to this file


That's not how you do that.

You stream the response back and the user gets a save-file dialog.
