how to create text file from jsp and provide downlode option

Hi Friend,

If you want to put the output in text file then try the following code:

1)data.jsp:

<%@ page import="java.sql.*, java.io.*"%>
<% Connection con = null;
Statement st = null;
ResultSet rs = null;
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:access");
st = con.createStatement();
rs = st.executeQuery("SELECT * from Employee"); 
%> 
        <script type="text/javascript">
        function fun(){
            alert("You have Successfully Loggedout");
        }
        </script>
     <table width="100%" border="0">
        <tr bgcolor="royalblue">
            <td>
                <center>
                    <font color="white">View Delegation</font>
                </center>
            </td>
        </tr>
        </table>
                <table width="100%" border="1">
        <tr>
                <td align="right"><a href="role.jsp" style ="text-decoration:none;"><font size="2" color="red"> Back</font></a> 
                <a href="Home.jsp" style ="text-decoration:none;"><font size="2" color="red">Home</font></a> 
                <a href="Logout.jsp" onclick="fun()" style ="text-decoration:none;"> <font size="2" color="red"> Logout</font></a> 
                </td>
        </tr>
        </table><br>
    <center>
    <TABLE BORDER="10" CELLPADDING="6" CELLSPACING="2" WIDTH="70%">
        <tr bgcolor="royalblue">
            <td><b>Employee ID</b></td>
            <td><b>Employee Name</b></td>
            <td><b>Employee Address ID</b></td>
            <td><b>Salary</b></td>

            </tr>
<%
String f="C:/data.txt";
FileWriter writer=new FileWriter(f,true);
BufferedWriter bw=new BufferedWriter(writer);
while (rs.next()){
    String st1=rs.getString(1);
String st2=rs.getString(2);
String st3=rs.getString(3);
String st4=rs.getString(4);
bw.write(st1+" "+st2+" "+st3+" "+st4);
bw.newLine();
bw.newLine();
    %>        <tr >
            <td><font size="2"><%=st1%></font></td>
            <td><font size="2"><%=st2%></font></td>
            <td><font size="2"><%=st3%></font></td>
            <td><font size="2"><%=st4%></font></td>
        </tr>

<% 
}
bw.close();
System.out.println(f);
%>
    </TABLE>
    <a href="http://localhost:8080/examples/modified/download.jsp?ff=<%=f%>">Download the  document</a>
    </center>

continue..

2)download.jsp:

<%@ page import="java.util.*,java.io.*"%>
<%@ page import="java.net.*"%>
<%!
public static String getMimeType(String fileUrl)
    throws java.io.IOException, MalformedURLException 
  {
    String type = null;
    URL u = new URL(fileUrl);
    URLConnection uc = null;
    uc = u.openConnection();
    type = uc.getContentType();
    return type;
  }

%>
<%
    String file=request.getParameter("ff");
    File f = new File (file);
    String filename=f.getName();
    String type=getMimeType("file:"+file);

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

    String name = f.getName().substring(f.getName().lastIndexOf("/") + 1,f.getName().length());
    InputStream in = new FileInputStream(f);
        ServletOutputStream outs = response.getOutputStream();

        int bit = 256;
        int i = 0;
            try {
                    while ((bit) >= 0) {
                        bit = in.read();
                        outs.write(bit);
                    }
                        } catch (IOException ioe) {
                        ioe.printStackTrace(System.out);
                    }
                        outs.flush();
                    outs.close();
                    in.close(); 
            %>

Thanks

Hi Friend,

There are different ways to write data into different type of files. So if you want to put output into pdf file. then try the following code:

data.jsp:

<%@ page import="java.sql.*, java.io.*"%>
<%@page import="com.lowagie.text.*,com.lowagie.text.pdf.*"%>;
<% Connection con = null;
Statement st = null;
ResultSet rs = null;
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:access");
st = con.createStatement();
rs = st.executeQuery("SELECT * from Employee"); 
%> 
        <script type="text/javascript">
        function fun(){
            alert("You have Successfully Loggedout");
        }
        </script>
     <table width="100%" border="0">
        <tr bgcolor="royalblue">
            <td>
                <center>
                    <font color="white">View Delegation</font>
                </center>
            </td>
        </tr>
        </table>
                <table width="100%" border="1">
        <tr>
                <td align="right"><a href="role.jsp" style ="text-decoration:none;"><font size="2" color="red"> Back</font></a> 
                <a href="Home.jsp" style ="text-decoration:none;"><font size="2" color="red">Home</font></a> 
                <a href="Logout.jsp" onclick="fun()" style ="text-decoration:none;"> <font size="2" color="red"> Logout</font></a> 
                </td>
        </tr>
        </table><br>
    <center>
    <TABLE BORDER="10" CELLPADDING="6" CELLSPACING="2" WIDTH="70%">
        <tr bgcolor="royalblue">
            <td><b>Employee ID</b></td>
            <td><b>Employee Name</b></td>
            <td><b>Employee Address ID</b></td>
            <td><b>Salary</b></td>

            </tr>
<%

Document document = new Document(PageSize.LETTER.rotate());
String f="C:/table.pdf";
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(new File(f)));
document.open();

String[] headers = new String[] {"Emp ID", "Emp Name", "Emp Address", "Salary"};
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(headers.length);
            for (int i = 0; i < headers.length; i++) {
                String header = headers[i];
                PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell();
                cell.setGrayFill(0.9f);
                cell.setPhrase(new Phrase(header.toUpperCase(), new Font(Font.HELVETICA, 10, Font.BOLD)));
                table.addCell(cell);
            }
            table.completeRow();
while (rs.next()){
    String st1=rs.getString(1);
String st2=rs.getString(2);
String st3=rs.getString(3);
String st4=rs.getString(4);
table.addCell(st1);
table.addCell(st2);
table.addCell(st3);
table.addCell(st4);
table.completeRow();
    %>        <tr >
            <td><font size="2"><%=st1%></font></td>
            <td><font size="2"><%=st2%></font></td>
            <td><font size="2"><%=st3%></font></td>
            <td><font size="2"><%=st4%></font></td>
        </tr>

<% 
}
document.add(table);
document.close();
System.out.println(f);
%>
    </TABLE>
    <a href="http://localhost:8080/examples/modified/download.jsp?ff=<%=f%>">Download the  document</a>
    </center>

The code of download.jsp file remains same.

Thanks
