Hi, do you already have your binary file or are you creating the file? If you have the file already, you could use a cocoon reader and set some extra http headers.
Otherwise I would go for creating your own reader. There is already a set header action available in case you wish to set the Content-Disposition. See the example below <map:act type="set-header"> <map:parameter name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment;"/> </map:act> Regards, Jeroen Reijn -----Original Message----- From: Christian Schlichtherle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wed 27-6-2007 13:26 To: [email protected] Cc: Subject: RE: Write binary data (file content) to the output stream 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 _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2007 1:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Write binary data (file content) to the output stream Hi all, i wanna open a generate a binary file on the fly and write send it directly to the user. 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?
