RE: Downloading files using JSP
Just provide a link the document, the browser will try to open it, if it can not it will pop up a message to download it.

What do you mean by 'attachment'? Are you talking about an email attachment or something else? -R -Original Message- From: Jagannayakam [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 01, 2003 7:33 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List (E-mail) Subject: Downloading files using JSP How to download attachments using JSPs Regards, Jagan. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Downloading files
Hello Sean,
This saves me from a lot of work.Tnanx. I just tried it and it works fine,
except for the case of of images. I guess for that case I have to use
ContentType(image/jpeg).

Try this:
// get the file extension
String fileName = formFile.getFileName();
// the mime type for this file
String mimeType = servlet.getServletContext().getMimeType(fileName);
// if we got one set it
if (null != mimeType) {
response.setContentType(mimeType);
}
// otherwise set a default
else {
response.setContentType(text/plain);
}
// otherwise output the file
ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
os.write(formFile.getFileData());
return null;
Works for us ... This way you leave it up to the container to tell you
the mime type. You can also configure mime types in your web.xml
deployment descriptor file.

Hi Alexander,
This is what I did after searching the archieves. I'm a little bit
confused
with the mime type (shouldn't multipart/form-data work for every type
of
file? it doesn't work for .jsps). I think I have to search more on this
one.
Thanx for the reply,
Konstantina

RE: Downloading files locally
You can use a servlet push to accomplish this. Change the content type in the response header to text and then use print.out statements to output each line of text. This is a very general explanation so I leave it up to you to research the specifics. BTW you can use this technique to output about any type of file; just change the response header content type to what you need. -Original Message- From: R.
