jar file download

[Naresh Chaurasia]

Hi,
I have taken the following code from HFSJ that is used for downloading jar file.When the above servlet is called,the file is downloaded with name InputOutputStream. Is it possible that when the download starts, it is done with extension jar(without myself explicitly specify it during the download).

public class InputOutputStream extends HttpServlet {

public void init(ServletConfig config)throws ServletException{
super.init(config);
}


public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException {

res.setContentType("application/jar");
InputStream is = getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("/archive.jar");

int iRead=0;
byte b[] = new byte[1024];

OutputStream os = res.getOutputStream();

while( (iRead=is.read(b) ) != -1)
{
os.write(b,0,iRead);
}

os.flush();
os.close();

}//end of doGet


public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException {
doGet(req, res);
}
}

Put the following line immediately after setContentType():

res.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=Archive.jar");

This line will make the browser aware of the name to use for downloading the stram. Therefore the browser will display the download dialog box with the given name 'Archive.jar' by default. Hope this helps.
