Miquel,
All you are doing is writing out a file on your server and then sending back
an empty response to the user - if you want to download the file, you need
to write it out to the response.
Try creating your file by writing it to a ByteArrayOutputStream, rather than
FileOutputStream
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(baos);
.... etc etc
Then write that ByteArrayOutputStream to the response...
ServletOutputStream sos = response.getOutputStream();
baos.writeTo(sos);
sos.flush();
