Hi, As per my knowledge, what you have to do is opening an out stream from your action. Something like...
response.setContentType("application/x-file-download"); response.setHeader( "Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + "Appfile.xml); response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "max-age=" + 20000); ServletOutputStream outStream = null; try { outStream = response.getOutputStream(); } catch (IOException e1) { e1.printStackTrace(); } //call to your backend to get the real out stream for this file.. try { getFileData(outStream); //write the outstraem here.. } catch (FileNotFoundException e2) { e2.printStackTrace(); } //and finally try { outStream.flush(); } catch (IOException e3) { e3.printStackTrace(); } return null; //return Null...so that user will see a Download popup...

The download should start when the user clicks on a button. The click on the button should copy the action of right-clicking on a link to the xml file and choosing "Save target as". I dont want a new window to open or a redirect off the page. Please let me know if I need to explain againg Br.
