Download a file after the end of a Thread

Question

Hi everyone,
I post here because I have a problem with a part of my application in ADF.
In my page I have a button witch create a Thread ans in this Thread I create a file. I checked if the Thread is alive or not with a poll and a progressIndicator.
When the Thread end I want to show a download pop up to download the file witch is create by the Thread. But nothing appends. A friends tell me to create a button, put the download code in the action and fire the button with code. But I have the same result.
If I click on the button everything is fine but with the code nothing appends.
this is the method I use to check if the Thread is alive :
public boolean isCreateReportRunning(){
if(createReportThread == null){
poll.setTimeout(60000);
return false;
if(!createReportThread.isAlive()){
try {
System.out.println("CreateReportThread is not alive - Thread is free");
createReportThread = null;
poll.setTimeout(0);
refreshCurrentPage();
//Fire the button with code
new ActionEvent(hiddenButton).queue();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return false;
return true;
In the action I simply show the pop-up to download the file
This is for the hidden button in my jspx page :
<af:commandButton text="Download" id="cb1"
binding="#{reportV2Bean.hiddenButton}"
action="#{reportV2Bean.hiddenButtonClick}"
immediate="true" partialSubmit="true">
</af:commandButton>
I also try with a <af:fileDownloadActionListener> but the problem also occurred
Thank you for your help.
