Hi,

write an action for the download. This can be a generic action within your app taking 
the filename as a parameter.
In this action:
- grab request.out    (standard servlet-programming)
- set the correct mime-type    (standard servlet-programming)
- read the file    (standard servlet-programming)
- spit it out on request.out    (standard servlet-programming)
- return null    (to indicate that the struts-action-servlet has nothing more to do)

I think in the mailing-list archive should be samples how to return a pdf or an image 
that might help you further.

hope this helps
Alexander

Subject: Downloading files


Hello,

I' m building an application where the user has the options to:
a.Store his files on the server (upload files) 
b.View the directories and the files he has created on the server side. These files 
will be links and when the user "clicks" on one of the files, the file should open.  
Also there will be a link "Download file" for the file download .

The first part has already been done but I have no idea how to do the second part.
Any help, any reference links would be really appriciated since I have never developed 
something like that previously. 

Many thanx,
Konstantina
