Download file from servlet
I am new to servlets. I want to render a word document from a servlet.
There is a JSP page
<HTML>
<BODY>
<a href="Sample">Download</a>
</BODY>
</HTML>
When user clicks on this link, a servlet is called
public class Sample extends HttpServlet {
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException {
String file ="myWord.doc";
response.setContentType("t
ServletOutputStream loStr = null;
loStr = response.getOutputStream()
loStr.write(file.getBytes(
loStr.flush();
loStr.close();
}
}
This servlet has to read a word document from the web server file system and download it on user's machine. But what I have written above only prints "myWord.doc" on the browser and does not download the file.
Please help
