Re: Servlet to download a file returning errors

Lew, Thanks for your reply.


My bad. I just changed that in the post .. just for ease of reading ..
but convoluted the understanding in the process.

Below is the code again ..
__________________________________________
package com.example.web;

import javax.servlet.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.util.*;

class DownloadServ extends HttpServlet{

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response) throws ServletException, IOException{

 response.setContentType("application/pdf");

  ServletContext ctx=getServletContext();
  InputStream is=ctx.getResourceAsStream("/
21stCenturyTiger_Christmas_wishes_2009.pdf");

 int read=0;
 byte[ ] bytes=new byte[1024];

 OutputStream os=response.getOutputStream();

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

 os.flush();
 os.close();
}
}

I am just learning now.. so i just wanted to make it work once and i
am thinking of moving on to these issues later.

Please Help.

Kuber
