Hi all,
I recently posted about uploading files to the server from the client, now, I guess I techinically want to download files to the client.
The consultants on a big project basically want to be able to do this, and I am investigating how possible this would be. We are using
Struts and Weblogic 8.1. I think it is probably impossible, but I don't want to sound too negative, and figured I don't really know everything, so should investigate.
We have an application, where users can import items to the database, and also export things from the database, to XML files.
Up until today, we had to make the users import and export things to and from files on the server. I have now managed to allow them to import files from their client, but have not sussed how to allow them to export files to their machine, without having to make them hit the mouse and select save as.
This is an acceptable solution if there is no other way, it is just that if we save tons of files to the server, then allow the user to save as, the server will eventually have lots of files on it that are not meant to be there.
The user inputs the file name, so I was wondering if there was anyway of downloading information to the file name submitted without save as?
Thanks,
Gillian
