I'm confused, you're coding for the server-side, with JSP/servlets aren't you? So how can you intercept the stream at the browser? That'll be beyond your code.
And anyway, if you set the MIME types and set the content for the response, the browser itself will decide and prompt the user for handling the file.
If on the other hand, you want to open a file on the server and send the contents of that to the browser, you can look into Apache POI (http://poi.apache.org/) for handling Excel, Word and PowerPoint documents.

Just set the content type according to the file extension. You may find the downloadFile() snippets at the bottom of http://balusc.xs4all.nl/srv/dev-jep-pdf.html useful. You don't need special stuff. Just let the client operating system handle it, as usual.
