Description

« Hide

Sometimes what you want to stream to the response is a file with a given name, a PDF for instance. In that case, you need to set the header:

"Content-disposition", "attachment; filename.pdf"

The StreamResult class should be enhanced so that it has the ability to take a filename and set the header.

I've added support for the Content-disposition header, but you will need to put the file inputstream on the stack yourself, this is outside the scope for StreamResult IMO.

I'm not sure what you mean about adding the file to the stack. The class already takes an InputStream as a parameter, so using the StreamResult to output a file is as simple as adding the option you added.

Erik, what I meant was adding a 'file' property (setFile(java.io.File file) - and thus getting the inputstream from the file in the StreamResult).
