Hi Friend,

As you have explained that you are getting the file but not getting the content then it seems that what code you have written is just creating a file with the same name for download but not writing the content. Therefore you are required to write the content of the specified file to the new file that you have created in the "content-desposition".

Please try the following code :

/*

*/

package pack;
import java.io.*;

import javax.servlet.ServletOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

/**
*
* @author saravana
*/
public class download extends HttpServlet {

/**
* Processes requests for both HTTP <code>GET</code> and <code>POST</code> methods.
* @param request servlet request
* @param response servlet response
* @throws ServletException if a servlet-specific error occurs
* @throws IOException if an I/O error occurs
*/
@Override
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
String path= request.getParameter("path");
String filename = request.getParameter("file");
//PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
System.out.println("inside download servlet");
ServletOutputStream myOut= response.getOutputStream();
try {
File f = new File(path+"\\"+filename);

/*if(f.exists())
// System.out.println(f.toString());
out.println("<html>");
out.println("<head>");
out.println("<title>Servlet download</title>");
out.println("</head>");
out.println("<body>");
out.println("<h1>Servlet download at " + path + "</h1>");
out.println("<h1>Servlet download at " + filename + "</h1>");*/

response.setContentType("application/download");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename= \""+filename+"\"");

FileInputStream fileIn = new FileInputStream(f);

byte[] outputByte = new byte[4096];
while(fileIn.read(outputByte, 0, 4096) != -1){
myOut.write(outputByte, 0, 4096);
}
}catch (IOException ioe){

throw new ServletException(ioe.getMessage( ));

}

finally {
if (myOut != null)
myOut.close( );
if (buf != null)
buf.close( );
}
}
}

We hope that this will help you.

Thanks
