It's working absolutely fine for me. I suspect the problem is one of these two:

1. You're giving the incorrect path of the file. Check the size of the downloaded file, it's probably 0 bytes.

2. Check the file that has been created on the server first; is that fine? That could also be the origin of the problem.

This is th code I've used. I copied an existing PDF to my webapps root folder ( $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/myApp/test.pdf ) and hardcoded the values of filename to check it and it works for me.

BufferedOutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream( resp.getOutputStream());

try

{

filename = "test.pdf";

resp.setContentType("application/pdf");//vnd.ms-excel" );

resp.setHeader("Content-disposition","attachment; filename=\"" + filename + "\"" );

BufferedInputStream bufferedInputStream = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(getServletContext().getRealPath("/") + filename));

int i;

while ((i=bufferedInputStream.read()) != -1)

{

out.write(i);

}

bufferedInputStream.close();

out.flush();

out.close();

}

catch ( Exception e )

{

System.out.println(e);

}
