Hi,

In my application developed by JSF2.0 + Richfaces3.3.3 + Tomcat6.0.29.

I maintain my log file into this location : E:\Tomcat-6.0.29\logs\project.log
My tomcat(webapps) Location : E:\Tomcat-6.0.29\Tomcat 6.0\webapps

In my page have one button. When i click that button i want to download that log file, without change the content and filename.
But in my code automatically generate file name. like E-_Tomcat-6.0.29_logs_project.log and also content is empty.
