This is what we did in our Action:

// generate the file
File file = generate();
// download
response.setContentType("text/plain");
response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=" +
file.getName());
return new ActionForward("/logs/" + file.getName());


Thanks

Subject: generating a text file

Hi all. I have to generate a text file (filled with a
pre-formated text) after a certain action is finished.
this file is a kind of confirmation of a certain
business action. so, as my application is web-based, I
think I should let the user download this text file
when it is generated. how to automatically start the
download? I mean ,fire up the download confirmation
menu, so the user confirms he wants to receive the text
file or not.

thanks in advance


Otávio Augusto
