HELP! How to save resultset (NOT file) from server databse on local machine
Our JSP web system allows our clients to be able to search data from the server-side database and then after get the resultset, they also should be able to save these data as a text file on their local machine by just a click. Of course, before they click the OK button, they should navigate the files system on their local machines and choose under which directory they want to put the file, and then provide a file name. I could NOT find a way to be able to navigate the local machine's drives.
I know there is a standard Save As dialogue automatically launched by the browser. But my problem is: I don't need such a pumped-up Save As... dialogue which most brower will provide, because our system will have an interface which will provide the same function as the Save As guy. And this is the part that I am currently working on. Our interface will permit the client to browse their file system and then provide a filename, and then click OK to save the file. PLEASE, anybody who can help me. I know there are guys there have answers for my questions:
1. In my JSP program, I save the resultset I get from the database as a string, and then this string should be sent through inputstream and outputstream and be saved as a text file onto the client's local machine. I know there's a lot file download topics but I am dealing with a string instead of a file, is there an inputstream accepting a string(which contains dataresultset) and output it to a file?
2. As I already said, how to make my own Save As... dialogue?
I really need help! I have been bothered by them for a long time. Thanks in advance!
