Hi, I wonder if you really need a pipeline for your example, a simple Servlet may actually be the best option. If your binary file would be the result of a transformation however, I would recommend to write a Serializer component. Kind regards, Christian

I didn't found an easy way in cocoon to achieve this. Therefore i have tried using an action, which gets the output stream and writes the byte array into the stream. ... response.setContentType("application/x-octet-stream"); response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filename); OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream(); out.write(data); out.flush(); ... the sitemap.xmap looks like this: <map:match pattern="**download.do"> <map:act type="binary-download"/> </map:match> It does function, but when i open in an editor, then i see the file content followed by an cocoon error message saying that a ResourceNotFoundException has been occured. 1. Any idea why i get the message? 2. Is there a better way sending binary data without writing it to the filesystem? Thanks in advance.
