I don't think you got what BalusC was trying to say; you're hardcoding the location where the RTF file will be generated and that's fine. Remember, this path that you're giving will be the filesystem of the server machine.
The best you can do is give your client a 'Save As' dialog box where they can choose the download location ( I'm sure you've seen this in action ) and the way to do this is to set the headers in the response telling the browser you're sending a file of a particular type and that it would probably do well to let the user download it; and then write the contents of the file to the OutStream of the response.
If you are giving path in the servlet then it will be stored at server side not at client side.
If you wanna give the client an option to save into a desired location,
after generating the content , set the content type as rtf and then write the content into printstream.
Whether the content to be displayed in client browser or getting save dialog depends on client side browser settings.
I.e., if the rtf contenet is linked to MSword app in browser then it will be opened in browser as word document and user can save it. Other wise it will automatically give a dialog with options open,save and cancel.
