Re: How to download a file without creating it on a server

2010-11-25 Thread lunch716
Hi,

I found the following the thread, and now I apply that method.
I think it is the best solution for this issue.(namely create custom Result
class)

Thanks.

Hi all,
try this for example:

public InputStream getInputStream() throws ParseException,
UnsupportedEncodingException {
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(blablabla)

return new ByteArrayInputStream(sb.toString().getBytes(windows-1250));
}

 Hi Dave and Allen,

 Thank you for quick reply.

 Frankly speaking, I'm not familiarity with using stream and could not come
 up with some ideas.

 When I coded with java.io.PipedInputStream/PipedOutputStream
 like follwoing, I could download an empty file with IllegalStateException.

 If anyone give an example how to code,I will really appreciate.

 Thanks.

Hi Wielgus,

Thank you for the example.

That example you provided can work fine.
But I'm afraid I can not apply this way.

When using ByteArrayInputStream, I need to hold all contents of a download
file.But I must handle a huge file that can not be placed in memory.

I'm sorry that I did not tell exactly.

Thanks anyway.

Re: How to download a file without creating it on a server

2010-09-16 Thread Paweł Wielgus
Hi,
it all depends.
Where You take data from - database?
How You manipulate the data if any - are You combining some fields or something?

It's possible to take some data from DB and read it from reasult set
as a stream and just forward it to the user browser.

But if this data has to be manipulated (concatenated, changed, etc.)
the temporary file is needed if You don't want to put all data into memory.
Of course You can create Your own stream that will put only small
chunks of data into memory,
but that's not trivial to do.

Hope that helps,
Paweł Wielgus.

A stream is a stream-doesn't need to be a file. Or just stream
directly to the response and return null.

[S2] How to download a file from a hyperlink

2007-07-11 Thread Struts2 Fan

Hi all,

I searched the archieves but couldn't find the answer for S2. I just want
the download a file from a hyperlink but the type is not important. 

here is the part of the struts.xml

action name=showFile class=ShowFileAction
result name=success type=stream
???
inputStream
???
4096
/result
/action

In my action I return an inputStream.

public class ShowFileAction extends BaseAction{
public InputStream getInputStream() throws Exception {
// it works right because the images are shown clearly. 
return new FileInputStream(/a.rar); // or b.exe
}
public String execute() throws Exception {
return SUCCESS;
}
}

the hyperlink code is 
/showFile.html?fileName=a.rar download 

Any ideas?

Re: how to download a file

2006-06-22 Thread Ed Griebel

Take a look at org.apache.struts.actions.DownloadAction, I created an
action that extended it (and implemented the internal StreamInfo) and
was able to create an action that downloaded a PDF doc in less than an
hour.

For creating a new file to stream, one approach is to create the temp
file using (untested, of course):
 File dir = new
File(request.getSession().getServletContext().getRealPath(.));
 File tmp = File.createTempFile(web,null,dir);
 tmp.deleteOnExit();
You may not have rights to write to the web server's root directory,
you might be able to get away with File tmp =
File.createTempFile(web, null);
Store the data to this temp file, passing the file as a stream in the
aformentioned StreamInfo object. To eliminate creating the temp file,
stream the file directly without having an intermediate file.

file using (untested, of course):
 File dir = new
File(request.getSession().getServletContext().getRealPath(.));
 File tmp = File.createTempFile(web,null,dir);
 tmp.deleteOnExit();
You may not have rights to write to the web server's root directory,
you might be able to get away with File tmp =
File.createTempFile(web, null);
Store the data to this temp file, passing the file as a stream in the
aformentioned StreamInfo object. To eliminate creating the temp file,
stream the file directly without having an intermediate file.

Struts - How to Download a File

2004-05-03 Thread Singh_bibek
Hi All,
We wish to provide a link to the user, clicking on which user can download the 
file(jpg,gif,mpg,wav,tiff) to his/her local disk.

The user should be therefore prompted for the path where the file is to be saved.

Can anyone guide me as to how to achieve the same using Struts.

Thanks,

Regards,
Bibek
