Here is what I am needing to do:
Have a database contain
word documents. I'll use jsps and
java to view the content of this database. A user will select up to 25 documents to transfer to their PC (client). I've been asked to compress these files just before the transfer then decompress them after the transfer. Once the user is finished modifying the files they will get another
jsp to upload the documents back. Again, compress and decompress. I'm trying to perform this without an
applet running on the client side. Assuming the applet will handle the compression from and to the server. I'm investigating if I can compress the file on the server first, use an output stream to write it to the client side then decompress it.
Any suggestions?
