Converting an html file with jsp contents to a text file for download

Question

Hi guys,
I'm currently having troubles with downloading a .jsp file to a doc file.
The thing is i am able to download the desired file and make it as a .doc but when i open it with ms word 2007 i can only see the content of the html. The dynamic content generated from the database and reflected on the .jsp page that i suppose to download and convert to .doc file doesn't show.. I hope someone could help me... My servlet code is this:
public class FileDownload extends HttpServlet
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
try
String originalFileName="localhost:8080//Appsdev//reportresults1.jsp";
File f=new File(originalFileName);
System.out.println("THE 1st f:"+f);
          response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=tryreport.doc;");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "max-age=0");
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
FileInputStream inStream = new FileInputStream(f);
OutputStream outStream = response.getOutputStream();
int sizeRead = 0;
int size = 0;
while ((sizeRead = inStream.read(buf, 0, buf.length)) != -1)
outStream.write(buf, 0, sizeRead);
size += sizeRead;
inStream.close();
outStream.close();
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
}

Hi BalusC,
sorry for the double post i'm newly registered and it's my first post before i was just reading other's threads.
well last night while i was reading and researching for a solution a came across this.
<%@ page language="java" contentType="application/msword"%> naturally for my other jsp pages, the contentType is text/html so when the page loads it display in the browser. But with application/msword when i direct the page to the jsp page that i want to download and set the contentType with that...it prompts a window like when you're downloading the one with the <open with and save as>. It works fine to, i was able to see the report that i have to download and it is formatted very much like what i am seeing on the browser. My only concern now is the file i am able to download is a .jsp file how could i change that to a .doc file and be able to see the same content like the one with the .jsp file that i have right now.... any help or examples would be greatly appreciated. I didn't use the servlet anymore because even though i am able to download there is no content the html parts only but iam able to change the extension for the file...thanks again! ^ ^
