In my project, I have a button that lets the user download the contents
of a datatable in a form that MSExcel can interpret:

  Button button = new Button("excelExport") {
    protected void onSubmit() {
      getRequestCycle().setRequestTarget(new
ComponentRequestTarget(dataTable));
      WebResponse wr=(WebResponse)getResponse();
      wr.setContentType( "excel/ms-excel; name=myFilename.xls" );
      wr.setHeader("content-disposition",
"attachment;filename=myFilename.xls");
    }
  };
 
Suppose I want the button to download a text file containing some
arbitrary text (not necessarily the contents of a DataTable).  Would I
do something like this?
 
  Button button = new Button("textfileExport") {
    protected void onSubmit() {
 
      StringResponse response = new StringResponse();
      response.write(
              "Whatever I want contained in the output text file..."
      );
      getRequestCycle().setResponse(response);

      WebResponse wr=(WebResponse)getResponse();
      wr.setContentType( "text/plain; name=myFilename.txt" );
      wr.setHeader("content-disposition",
"attachment;filename=myFilename.txt");
    }
  };
 
If not, what is the proper approach?
