Hi,
The archive of this list has very many messages on how this can be achieved.
One possible solution is this.
If you presently call the download servlet as
http://www.myserver.com/mycontext/myserveletmapping?fileId = 1
call it as
http://www.myserver.com/mycontext/myserveletmapping/filename?fileId = 1
Note the addtions of filename in the url.
For more details on other ways to achieve this, Pls check the archives at

Regds,
Gokul
