    file download not working

    jsfgeeks

      hello,

      In my project i am usiong button to download a file but it's not working properly other than save dialog it's shows file on the browser.My download code is below:

      in first i tried servlet output stream & in second i tried to use BufferedOutputStream.but both are not working for me.

       

       

      public String btn_download1_action() {
              try {
                  if (news_filepath != null) {
                      String path =sc.getRealPath(ex_file_path)+"/"+news_filepath;
                      System.out.println(path);
                      String extension = path.substring(path.lastIndexOf(".") + 1);
                      System.out.println(extension);
                      File file = new File(path);
                      BufferedInputStream input = null;
                      long length = file.length();

       

                      ServletOutputStream output = null;
                      try {
                          // Open file.
                          input = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file), DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE);
                          // Init servlet response.
                          response.reset();
                          response.setContentType("application/force-download");
                          response.setContentLength(input.available());
                          response.addHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + news_filepath + "\"");
      //                    output = new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream(), DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE);
      //                    // Write file contents to response.
                          byte[] buffer = new byte[DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE];
      //                    for (int length; (length = input.read(buffer)) != -1;) {
      //                        output.write(buffer, 0, length);
      //                    }
                          // Finalize task.
                   
                            output = response.getOutputStream();
        response.setContentLength((int)length);
        while ((input != null) && ((length = input.read(buffer)) != -1)) {
          output.write(buffer, 0, (int)length);
        }
                          output.flush();
                      } finally {
                          // Gently close streams.
                          input.close();
                          output.close();
                      }
                  }

       

              } catch (Exception e) {
                  System.out.println(e);
              }
          //    FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().responseComplete();
              return null;
          }

       

          public String btn_download2_action() {
              try {
                  if (news_picpath!= null) {
                       String path1 =sc.getRealPath(ex_file_path)+"/" +news_picpath;
                      System.out.println(path1);
                      String extension1 = path1.substring(path1.lastIndexOf(".") + 1);
                      System.out.println(extension1);
                   
                      File file = new File(path1);
                      BufferedInputStream input1 = null;
                      BufferedOutputStream output1 = null;
                      try {
                          // Open file.
                          input1 = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file), DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE);
                          // Init servlet response.
                          response.reset();
                          response.setContentType("application/" + extension1 + "");
                          response.setContentLength(input1.available());
                          response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + path1 + "\"");
                          output1 = new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream(), DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE);
                          // Write file contents to response.
                          byte[] buffer1 = new byte[DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE];
                          for (int length1; (length1 = input1.read(buffer1)) != -1;) {
                              output1.write(buffer1, 0, length1);
                          }
                          // Finalize task.
                          output1.flush();
                      } finally {
                          // Gently close streams.
                          input1.close();
                          output1.close();
                      }
                  }
              } catch (Exception e) {
                  System.out.println(e);
              }
           //   FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().responseComplete();
              return null;
          }

      any help would greatly appreciated.
