Hi Bibeaul! thanks for your reply.
Actually I upload a video on server and kept the reference in database by name. Now i want to play this video on client(browser ) with out downloading.

Impossible. To play the video, the data must be sent to the client.

You have to explain what exactly you mean by "without downloading"? Do you mean, when the video is requested by the client, you don't want a "save as" window to pop-up and instead it should just start playing in the client browser?

String filename = "C:\\uploaded-download\\anjane.mov"; //my own filename
//you can write http://localhost
//String filepath = "C:/"; //located on Local C harddisk

BufferedInputStream buf = null;

try {

File myfile = new File( filename);

//set response headers
response.setContentType("application"); //I want to play a video file

response.addHeader(
"Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filename);

response.setContentLength((int) myfile.length());

FileInputStream input = new FileInputStream(myfile);
buf = new BufferedInputStream(input);
int readBytes = 0;

//read from the file; write to the ServletOutputStream
while ((readBytes = buf.read()) != -1) {
out.write(readBytes);
}

} catch (IOException ioe) {
} finally {

Hi Bear Bibeault, Please check this.

You're trying to stream it from a JSP?

Step 1: Move the code out of a JSP and into a servlet. JSP is a completely unsuitable technology for this.
