OK, I just found out that we can specify a URL in the action parameter of jsfunction.

<a:jsFunction name="test" ajaxSingle="true"

                                        action="/seam/resource/myresource" oncomplete="onTestEnd();">

</a:jsFunction>

Here I had to modify the getResourcePath method so that it returns the suffix as well.

public String getResourcePath() {

                    return "/myresource.seam";

}

Now again same thing as DocumentStore; the data is downloaded as a file in the browser (Chrome).

Can't this be done in the background?

And the oncomplete callback never gets called with this method...

I am writing the data using the HttpServletResponse object in the getResource method of AbstractResource.

Below is the getResource method I use for testing:

public void getResource(HttpServletRequest httpservletrequest,

               HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {

response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");

response.setStatus(200);

response.flushBuffer();

ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();

byte[] data = new byte[4096];

for (int i = 0; i < 4096; i++)

                              data[i] = (byte) i;

out.write(data);

response.flushBuffer();

out.close();

}

Because I haven't used jQuery before.

I will now learn and try it and then let you know the results.

Thanks for the pointer.
