Send files from servlet to client for downloading

[bhagat_ketan]

I have a rpc call to servlet which streams out a pdf document
the fileservlet.java

when hit on browser http://localhost/fileservlet correctly streams out the file but in smartclient its not streaming, please help

 isc.RPCManager.sendRequest({
	    actionURL: "../../fileservlet",
	    showPrompt:false,
	    prompt:"Searching records ..",
	    willHandleError:true, 					    
	    data: {				         
		    }
	    ,callback: function(rpcResponse, data, rpcRequest){
	    	isc.clearPrompt();
	    	isc.logWarn(".. status="+rpcResponse.status);
	    	if(!rpcResponse || rpcResponse.status==-1){
	    		handleGenericError(data,rpcResponse);
	    	}
	    	else{
	    		_itemList.setData(rpcResponse.data.gridData); 
	    	}
		}     
	});

and the fileservlet is registered in web.xml and also checks for mime type, and it works independtly when hit http://localhost/fileservlet

RPCManager is used for structured communications with the SmartClient server. It does not apply to your own, hand-written Servlet.

A typical way to initiate a download with such a Servlet is just to set window.location to the URL of the Servlet.
