I can't say I get all the pipeline concepts yet so excuse be if I'm missing
something simple.
Right now I only use the HTML serializer, but want to provide options in the
app to use both the Text and HSSF serializers.
Is is possible to configure the sitemap or serializer to 'save to file' and
prompt the user with a SaveAs dialog?
Well this is more or less a browser issue. Most browsers second-guess
the server directives and do what they think is best. The browsers look
at the file extension and try to guess the incoming content. I don't
think there is a 100% reliable way of manipulating the browser to popup
the 'save as' dialog. At OnJava I found an page recently with a solution
[1].
You could try to set the content-type of the serializer to a type which
is not recognized by the browser. For instance:
"application/x-download" or "application/x-unknown"
Next to that you can use an sitemap action or something equivalent to
send an header to the browser:
("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=myfile.extension")
If not, is the standard approach to send output the the browser as normal
and rely on the browser's menu options?
Yes you can do that.
Thanks,
Gary
Your welcome!
