Download file issue

[khaled hanafy]

Hi all,

I made Download file example and it works well but when the download box opened and i click on the open or save button the form subbmited again !!


Any idea ?

hi khaled hanafy,

you did not mention which version on struts you are using, if you are using struts1 then use saveToken() to prevent duplicate form submit, if struts2 use token interceptor.

by any chance are you using custom interceptor?

Thanks alot debraj mallick for your fast response.


i am using struts2 i don't use any custom interceptor and this is my action in struts.xml :

<action name="download" class="AppDownload" method="getIt">



<interceptor-ref name="token"/>

<result name="success" type="stream" >
<param name="contentDisposition">attachment;filename="Report.xls"</param>
    <param name="contentType">application/vnd.ms-excel</param>
    <param name="inputName">inputStream</param>
    <param name="bufferSize">1024</param>
    </result>

    <result name="invalid.token">error.jsp</result>

</action>

I tried to use the token interceptor but this interceptor will redirect me to another page and doesn't enter to the download file result !!

Another page means error page?

[khaled hanafy]

Yes ,Mohana Rao, i mean the error page ,but the problem is the download dialog doesn't open.

[debraj mallick]

could you please give the entire struts.xml.
check the order in your struts.xml like
package
result-types
interceptors
default-interceptor-ref
global-results
global-exception-mappings and then
action
