[jboss-user] [JBoss Portal] - Re: Downloading a File from within a Portlet.

Thanks Chris, for responding to the post.

I have looked at the spec and also tried to use the serveResource() method. The issue that I'm having is that changing the content type of the ResourceResponse object to the desired type (in this case a vCard with mime type of text/x-vcard), and streaming the content back to the client doesn't initiate a download of the vCard. It merely sends the result back as text and it's embedded into the browser. 

>From my understanding of how to force the browser to initiate a download, i will have to set the response header of "Content-Disposition" with an attachment parameter to let the browser bring up a "Save As" dialogue or launch the target application.

Any thoughts, or am I totally off base?

Thanks again.
