Richfaces download component

[krashsun]

Hi,

Does richfaces have or planning to have any download component. I can find a upload component but not the download. Whats the best way to implement download file in a richfaces application.

Thanks.

There is no such component, probably becaue it is quite easy to do with plain JSF.

It is all abou t writing to the servlet response and stopping the JSF lifecycle from continuing after the action.

Try this http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/Sending_Files and if you have trouble getting it to work please post the code you have and we'll figure it out.
Google should also be helpful on this one since it is quite common.

cheers,
micke
