[OT] how to save a form field to client

["Longley, Andrew" <an...@mindflow.com>]

Hi all,

Not really a Tomcat question but I'm hoping someone has a good
suggestion.  I have a Tomcat app with a chat client talking to a jabber
chat server.  A business requirement is to be able to click a button to
save the chat transcript to the client hard drive.  The only solution
I've come up with so far is basically submitting the text area as an
input to a servlet, that then saves the file to a temporary directory on
the server and redirects the client request to that file, which would
(hopefully) initiate the "save or open" dialog we all know and love.

Can this work?  Other ideas?

Thanks!
