Struts 1 return stream (documents)
Hello,
I started struts by learning struts2. However, now i am working with
struts 1: (
I am faced with a problem where user downloads a file.
I have this in the struts.xml
<action path="/viewModificationDocument"
type="org.something1.something2.actions.download.ModificationDocumentDownloadAction"
scope="request" input="viewAwardModification">
</action>
And then in the action I have this which is returning a bytestream
protected class ByteArrayStreamInfo implements StreamInfo {
protected String contentType;
protected byte[] bytes;
public ByteArrayStreamInfo(String contentType, byte[] bytes) {
this.contentType = contentType;
this.bytes = bytes;
}
public String getContentType() {
return contentType;
}
public InputStream getInputStream() throws IOException {
return new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes);
}
}
But when user clicks a link is sees a open close cancel dialog
box...he just sees <actionname>.do as file name. I know I am not
returning the file name (I can) but where will I catch it?? like in
struts 2...shouldnt tehre be more in the action of this? like
specifying what is returned? and if i return the name.....should I
just make public String getFileName() method in ByteArrayStreamInfo
class?
Thanks!

Forgive me if I am on the wrong track here, I think I picked up this
thread in the middle... but I think I would answer:
> How are we suppose to supply the fileName?
By setting a response header:
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename="foo.xyz");

The techniques shown in the earlier examples would work equally well in
the byte stream example. How you determine the source of the data to
send back to the browser is really up to you.
- configure it statically in struts-config.xml (as per the first two
exxamples
- take it from a request parameter
- derive it from some other user or request data

Quick question
in all other examples on that page they show how the fileName is
retrieved. But for Byte Array Example they do not mention anything
regarding the fileName.
How are we suppose to supply the fileName?
