Downloading File/Save Problem....Help!!!!

Question

Hello All,
I have written a code to download a Text file from Server to Local Disk.But the problem
is that when i click a Button in the JSP page through which the downloading of file is
done,opens a Dialouge Box with the "Save To Disk " option selected.when i go for the Save
option the Text Field shows me a Wrong Filename("downloadFile.htm")....which is not the
File i want Download.I want to Download "1003-3.txt"....
Also when i go for the "OPEN" option and click on "OK" the Dialouge Box Opens again
with the "Save To Disk" option selected,when i click on "OK" the Text Field of the
Dialouge Box Shows the CORRECT Filename("1003-3.txt").....when i click OK the File
gets DOWNLOADED but with "NO CONTENTS".....
The snippet of code is .....
public HttpServletResponse doDownloadFile(HttpServletRequest req,HttpServletResponse res)
          throws ServletException,IOException {
          String fname = "1003-3.txt";
          res.setContentType("application/binary");
          res.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=\""+fname+"\";");
          ServletOutputStream stream = null;
          try {
               stream = res.getOutputStream();
               BufferedInputStream bif = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(fname));
               int data;
               while(( data = bif.read()) != -1) {
                    stream.write(data);
                    stream.flush();                    
               bif.close();
               stream.close();
               return res;
               } catch(Exception e) {
               finally {
               if (stream != null)
               stream.close();
               return res;

Hello All,
I am using the Code,as below, to Download a Text File from a particular
Directory on the Server to any where the user need to download it through the Dialouge box...
But what i Really want to achieve is that the user should not be asked for an Dialouge box, instead it
should Download the Text file directly to "Desktop"(By Default)...
Is there a way to do so...if yes can anybody help me out with the solution...
<Code>
public HttpServletResponse doDownloadFile(HttpServletRequest req,HttpServletResponse res)throws ServletException,IOException {
ServletOutputStream stream = null;          
res.setContentType("application/binary");
String fname1 = req.getParameter("BusinessId");
String fname2 = req.getParameter("AccountUserId");
String fname =fname1+"-"+fname2+".txt";
res.setHeader("Content-Disposition","inline; filename=\""+fname+"\";");
BufferedInputStream bif = null;          
try {
bif = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream("C:/ABCD/download/XYZ/"+fname));               
stream = res.getOutputStream();
byte [] buf = new byte[20480];
int data;
while(( data = bif.read(buf,0,20480)) != -1) {
stream.write(buf, 0, data);
stream.flush();                    
bif.close();
stream.close();               
return res;
} catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println("The Exception in MainServlet is :"+e);
finally {
if (stream != null)
stream.close();
return res;
}//end of method
</Code>
Thanks a million in advance,
Regards
