[jira] [Commented] (OODT-668) Allow ProductQueryServlet subclasses to override "Content-disposition" header

["Luca Cinquini (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OODT-668?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13923931#comment-13923931 ] 

Luca Cinquini commented on OODT-668:
------------------------------------

It might also be a good idea to expand the method signature in case subclasses need more information to suggest a filename. For example, the signature could be:

protected void suggestFilename(QueryHandler handler, Result result, HttpServletResponse res)

This change should be totally transparent to all clients.

> When browsers download attachments, they set the filename by looking at the "Content-disposition" header.
> Currently, the ProductQueryServlet class suggests a filename that is equal to the name of the requested resource. This might not always be the best choice: for example, an application that receive a request to zip a bunch of files and return the archive might want to name the file as "products_datetime.zip".
> This behavior could be achieved by simply changing the visibility of the method "suggestFilename" (and perhaps "displayable") in the class ProductQueryServlet from private to protected.
