I have tried to implement Stuart's downloadfilter solution. It works quite well, I can now download large files. However there are some sideeffects: textfields doesn't handle danish national characters correctly.

It looks like

@Filter(around = {"org.jboss.seam.web.ajax4jsfFilter" })

make some interference with UTF-8 encoding of the request, even though the filter just pass the reguest unaltered further down in the filter chain. Does anyone have an idea why ?

An update on this filterbehaviour:
It seems that it is accessing the request parameter in the filter that causes the encoding sideeffect. I have started a new thread on the topic:

Hi all,

I don't know if it can be useful but i use this trick to evict Ajax4jsf filter by getting effective ServletResponse from the Ajax4jsf Servlet Response Wrapper :

HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getResponse();
     
if (response instanceof HttpServletResponseWrapper) {
     LOGGER.debug("Response [{}] is an instance of HttpServletResponseWrapper -> get the wrapped response from it.", response);
     response = (HttpServletResponse) ((HttpServletResponseWrapper) response).getResponse();
     LOGGER.debug("Response (wrapped) is : [{}].", response);
}|

And it seems to work fine (tested with richfaces 3.3.1 without Seam), i think this is a simple solution but this solution may not work with future version.

Hope it helps.

Hi all,

what I did, is:

HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) externalContext.getResponse();
try {
     while (true) {
          response = (HttpServletResponse) PropertyUtils.getProperty(response, "response");
     }
} catch (NoSuchMethodException e1) {
     // nothing to do
     // we are at org.apache.catalina.connector.ResponseFacade
}

So far it seams to work, well.

Cheers,

Dušan

The filter works for me, except that I get No active application context error when attempting to retrieve entityManager. I configured web:context-filter but didn't help.

How can I access the app context?

Thanks.
