Download in adf 11

Question

I'm using fileDownloadActionListener component attached to a button
code
jsp:
<af:fileDownloadActionListener method="#{Dok.onDownload}"
contentType="#{Dok.mime}"
filename="#{Dok.fname}"/>
backing bean:
public void onDownload(FacesContext facesContext,
OutputStream outputStream) {
FacesCtrlHierNodeBinding f=(FacesCtrlHierNodeBinding)this.tableD.getSelectedRowData();
if(f==null) return;
BlobDomain doc =(BlobDomain)f.getRow().getAttribute("Dat");
String fname = (String)f.getRow().getAttribute("Name");
this.setFname(fname);
String mtype ="";
if(fname.endsWith(".pdf") || fname.endsWith(".PDF")) mtype="application/pdf;charset=UTF-8";
if(fname.endsWith(".doc") || fname.endsWith(".DOC")) mtype="application/msword;charset=UTF-8";
this.setMime(mtype);
try {
outputStream.write(doc.toByteArray());
outputStream.flush();
outputStream.close();
} catch (Exception ex) {                  
ex.printStackTrace();
return;
code works fine but the document is opened in the same window which opens problem returning to application (back button isn't good solution)
so what I have to do to open file download dialog instead of opening document?

Hi,
not sure if this is something to fix in the code. I have different behaviors with different browser so I think its a MIME type configuration issue. The work around would be to use a Servlet for the download and reference it from a dialog you open
