I had the same problem that I used to get prompted for file save on IE6 but on
IE7 the attachment was being displayed in a new pop up browser. and I did the
following to resolve it:
<action name="ticketFileDownload" class="ccol.action.ticket.TicketFileDownload">
<result name="success" type="stream">
<param name="contentType">application/octet-stream</param>
</result>
</action>
Then make ur action class implement "ServletResponseAware" interface and add
the following lines to your action method:
setInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(attachment.getAttachment()));
getServletResponse().setHeader("Content-Disposition",
("attachment; filename=\"" +
attachment.getName() + "\""));
For some reason not known to me, using the above method, you get prompted to
save the file in IE6/7 and firefox 2.x and 3.x. However, following the way
described in Wiki documentation would result to the problem you are
experiencing.
