Download files via a Struts action?

[Adam B <cr...@gmail.com>]

My goal is to create a web page in my Stuts webapp with links to download
any file in the Tomcat/logs directory.  I am able to do this using a my
getFile.do action:

<a href="getFile.do?file=catalina.out">catalina.out</a>
<a href="getFile.do?file=stdout.log">stdout.log</a>

The problem is that when the user clicks this link the browser wants to
download the file as "getFile.do" because that's what the href says the file
is called.  I really need something closer to:

<a href="catalina.out">catalina.out</a>
<a href="stdout.log">stdout.log</a>

So that the browser will know what to call the file.  Of course, since
/manage/catalina.out does not exist Tomcat complains.

Is there a way I can map any request that matches /manage/logfiles/* to my
getFile.do action?  I've played around with struts wildcard mappings a bit
but couldn't get anything to work.  Any help would be much appreciated.
