Hi Cristian, I've got it working! Just place all the following files at the same package and you will get a working example (I tested them with FF35 and IE7).
import org.apache.wicket.ajax.AjaxRequestTarget; import org.apache.wicket.ajax.markup.html.AjaxLink; import org.apache.wicket.markup.html.WebPage; import org.apache.wicket.markup.html.basic.Label; import org.apache.wicket.model.AbstractReadOnlyModel; /** * @author Ernesto Reinaldo Barreiro (reier...@gmail.com) * */ public class TestPage extends WebPage{ private Label text; private String labelText = "Hi!"; private DocumentResourceListener documentResourceListener; /** * */ public TestPage() { AjaxLink<Void> link = new AjaxLink<Void>("link") { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; @Override public void onClick(AjaxRequestTarget target) { TestPage.this.labelText = "Hi! and donwload image!"; if(target!= null) { target.addComponent(TestPage.this.text); String url = documentResourceListener.getURL().toString(); target.appendJavascript(";alert('Hi');window.location.href='"+url+"';"); } } }; add(link); text = new Label("text", new AbstractReadOnlyModel<String>() { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; @Override public String getObject() { return TestPage.this.labelText; } }); text.setOutputMarkupId(true); add(text); documentResourceListener = new DocumentResourceListener("listener", new MyPdfResource()); add(documentResourceListener); } } --------------------------- <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns:wicket="org.apache.wicket"> <head> </head> <body> <a wicket:id="link">Click Me</a> <span wicket:id="text"></span> <div wicket:id="listener"></div> </body> </html> --------------------------------- import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.InputStream; import java.io.OutputStream; import org.apache.wicket.markup.html.DynamicWebResource; import org.apache.wicket.protocol.http.WebResponse; /** * @author Ernesto Reinaldo Barreiro (reier...@gmail.com) * */ public class MyPdfResource extends DynamicWebResource { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; static int BUFFER_SIZE = 10*1024; /** * */ public MyPdfResource() { } /* (non-Javadoc) * @see org.apache.wicket.markup.html.DynamicWebResource#getResourceState() */ @Override protected ResourceState getResourceState() { return new ResourceState() { @Override public String getContentType() { return "application/pdf"; } @Override public byte[] getData() { try { return bytes(MyPdfResource.class.getResourceAsStream("jta-1_1-spec.pdf")); } catch (Exception e) { return null; } } }; } public static byte[] bytes(InputStream is) throws IOException { ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); copy(is, out); return out.toByteArray(); } @Override protected void setHeaders(WebResponse response) { super.setHeaders(response); response.setAttachmentHeader("jta-1_1-spec.pdf"); } public static void copy(InputStream is, OutputStream os) throws IOException { byte[] buf = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE]; while (true) { int tam = is.read(buf); if (tam == -1) { return; } os.write(buf, 0, tam); } } } Just replace "jta-1_1-spec.pdf" with your own PDF file on MyPdfResource and the exampel should work. An important bit here if @Override protected void setHeaders(WebResponse response) { .... response.setAttachmentHeader("jta-1_1-spec.pdf"); } which makes the file to treated as an attachment instead of replacing the current page. Best, Ernesto P.S. Would it useful to add this to Wicket's wiki?
