Hi you can try this code snipplet for the stream :

  java.io.FileInputStream FIS = new java.io.FileInputStream(filepath);
  java.io.BufferedInputStream bis = new java.io.BufferedInputStream(FIS);
  PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();

 int i;

  while ((i=bis.read()) != -1)
 {
  out.write(i);
 }

 FIS.close();

 bis.close();

And befor the stream you should set the special http
header:Content-Disposition.
