Omid.. The link must be absolute. You can't just send a file located
in a backing bean directly to the browser. The url needs to be a web
resource and a backing bean is part of the model layer of Faces MVC
Architecture. My advice is to create a servlet whose job it is to
stream the file to the browser using the given content type. The link
would then reference that sevlet.
Hope that helps...
