[Tobago] tc:sheet problems

[Tobias Reifenstuel <oe...@web.de>]

Hi all,

 
i used the <tc:file /> tag to upload files. This works fine. Now I want 
to download this file and I don't know how. Is there a comfortable way 
to do that? Something similiar to the upload process? I want to use the 
normal windows from the OS to save the files. If I can't do it with 
tobago, how can I implement it with jsf?


Thanks and Regards,

Tobi Reifenstuel

Hi,

in trinidad we have an actionListener for that.
The core code is not tied to Trinidad, so you could "borrow" it (see [1]).
Ignore those Trinidad specific imports the core is pretty much independent.
processAction() is what you are looking for. You can create a TAG as well
and use it like:

<h:commandButton value="Say Hello">
  <myLib:fileDownloadActionListener filename="hello.txt"
      contentType="text/plain; charset=utf-8"
      method="#{bean.sayHello}"/>
</h:commandButton>

See [2] for more documentation.
And yes, that would be a nice tag in the commons lib.

HTH,
Matthias
