Hi all,
usually I include tr:fileDownloadActionListener from a link - no
problems.
Now I would use it from a menu action (jscookmenu, used as a context-menu).
I know about the long way:
1. select a blob to download from the menu action.
2. render tr:fileDownloadActionListener inside a hidden button (using PPR).
3. include a js chunk to click that button immediately upon rendering.
4. service the download method while processing that click (PPR again).
This sequence simulates the placement of a button on the fly, and its
immediate clicking to enable blob downloading.
Now I wonder if I can shortcut steps 2-4, avoiding the client roundtrip
in step 3 which doesn't provide any UI visible effect.
I known I might render an object/iframe - thus doing it manually - but I
would like to avoid it if possible.
Thanks for any suggestion,
