I¹m seeing a really strange issue in one of our struts apps with a stream
result where the downloaded file is empty (zero bytes).
I can¹t see where it is going wrong. I dynamically generate a zip file in
tomcat¹s temp folder and then use a Buffered input reader to pass off to the
struts stream.
I can the the zip file in the tomcat temp folder and it contains the data
it¹s supposed to. The issue is getting from the file to the input stream.
I¹ve included by struts configuration, the relevant part of my action and
the a detailed log.
I¹d appreciate any help.
Z.
My struts config :
<action name="exportData" class="clientAction" method="exportData">
<result name="success" type="stream">
<param name="allowCaching">false</param>
<param name="contentType">${documentContentType}</param>
<param name="contentDisposition">${documentFileName}</param>
<param name="contentLength">${documentContentLength}</param>
<param name="bufferSize">1024</param>
</result>
</action>
In my action class :
String filePrefix = System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir") +
³/temporaryData.zip" ;
LOGGER.debug("Read the generated file : "+ zipName);
File tempFile = new File(zipName);
if(tempFile.exists()){
LOGGER.debug("The file exists : "+ zipName);
}
if(tempFile.canRead()){
LOGGER.debug("The file can be read : "+ zipName);
}
if(tempFile.isFile()){
LOGGER.debug("The file is a file : "+ zipName);
}
if(tempFile.isHidden()){
LOGGER.debug("The file is hidden : "+ zipName);
}
LOGGER.debug("The file size is : "+ tempFile.length());
inputStream = new BufferedInputStream(new
FileInputStream(tempFile));
documentFileName = "attachment; filename=NfcData.zip";
documentContentType = "application/zip";
My log files looks like this:
