Niranjan:
You might want to grab a copy of our Expresso open-source component library,
at the site listed below. In it's com/javacorporate/common/servlet directory
is a servlet called "Download" that does exactly what you describe,
virtually to the letter. It's also been tested on an AS/400. In fact, it's
the same servlet you use when you go to our site to download a copy of the
library itself!
Hope it's helpful.
