2de question; I want the user to download the file, that when teh user
cliks the link, his browser opens a download dialog box so heb can choose
where to save the file.
how do I do that?
To a large extent, that depends on the browser they're using - for example,
I have mine set to automatically download files to a specific folder without
prompting.
More generally, though, if the browser has a plugin that can handle the
returned mime type it will open it in that; otherwise it will download it.
There may also be a separate "download this link" option on the RMB popup
menu to allow it to be saved rather than opened.
If you want to force files to be downloaded rather than handled by plugins,
you could return application/octet-stream as the mime type instead of the
actual value.

Well, if they're under WEB-INF you won't be able to link directly to them
anyway since the spec says web containers shouldn't serve up files under
there. You don't say what URL you're matching on to get the directory
listing, but assuming it's something like <map:match pattern="mydir"> then
you could just use relative links in the generated hrefs and add
<map:match pattern="mydir/*">
<map:read src="\WEB-INF\files\download\{1}"/>
</map:match>
to your sitemap. Depending on the filetypes you may also need to match
based on the extension and supply the relevant mime-type attributes on the
map:read elements.
