Hi,
The portlet spec states that you may add a servlet to your portlet app WAR. As the portlet RI, pluto allows you to do that. So if you are writing a JSR-168 compatible portlet app, you may use a servlet to solve the file download problem. For the WebSphere portal, if it does not support servlet, it is not spec compatible. Maybe you need to take a look at the WebSphere docs to find the right way for file downloading.
Hope that helps.
Regards.

In Websphere Portal, you cannot add a servlet in your portlet war.
So it isn't a standard method to solve the problem.
I have encountered the same problem when i doplyed Sun Ajax Portlet on
Websphere Portal, in fact it use a servlet to manage XMLHttpRequest.
I would like to find a standard method to solve this problem!
Thanks,

Please respond
to pluto-user
You may be able to include a servlet and/or JSP in your portlet WAR that
the links displayed by the portlet go to, to download the files (after
doing whatever additional access control logic you need)...

Subject: File Download From a Portlet
I wish to create a JSR-168 compliant portlet that will display a list of
files with meta-data and then provide a link download the binary file.
The files will not be public and access control will be on a user by
user basis.
In the servlet world, I would simply hijack the response, set it's
content-type, the file name, read the file from disk and stream it out
on the response.
I gather that this approach will not work in the portlet world.
Has anyone figured out a way to do this?
thanks kindly,
aaron
