hi,

In my project using link to show a file from resources,but it's not working wirh richfaces it shows balnk page. in my pure Jsf project it was working properly.

My Code is below:

      <h:commandLink  id="file2_link"  binding="#{newsEvents.file2_link}"
                                        action="#{newsEvents.file2_link_action}"     title="click to view file" />

  public String file2_link_action() {
        // TODO: Replace with your code
        try {
            if (file2_link.getValue() != null) {
                String path1 = sc.getRealPath(ex_file_path) +"/"+file2_link.getValue().toString(); //sc=ServetContext
                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", "inline; 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;

    }
