File Download Hell, this is insane!!

I have been searching for days and cannot believe that the only solution to allow users to download files NOT in the WEB-INF directory is to add a plugin from a third party entity.
I'm not even sure that suggestion would work as I don't have the option of trying it out.
I convinced my company to allow me to convert all the old Cold Fusion pages over to JSP, never DREAMING that when it came down to being able to dynamically link to files for download JSP would drop the ball.
There has GOT to be some way that I can accomplish this without going to some third party tags for a solution.
I have attempted every trick I've stumbled upon...creating a link to the file(which ends up in the dang /tomcat/bin directory)..setting the content headers in all sorts of configurations..
No matter what I do the flipping JSP stuffs fileDownload.jsp into the save as name and the results of the download turns out to be the source code for the html result of fileDownload.jsp.
Downloading third party tags (which seems to be the answer of choice on this site) is NOT an option...does anyone have any other suggestion?? SUN ARE YOU LISTENING???? This is a show stopper for an application that WAS set to deliver in just a few weeks!!

The latest version of JOT Servlets comes with a file download utility and demonstration app for downloading. You can download the free JOT evaluation and take a look at how it is done and do it yourself. Basically this is just HTTP protocol stuff.

I just purchased the new Canon SX60 camera. Despite downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe DNG converter, I receive an error message saying that Photoshop CS4 can't open up/convert raw files (.CR2). This is the same file format as used by the SX50, with which I never had any problem. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this problem? Thanks.

Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras I do not see that SX60 as supported. Just how new is the SX60 when was it announces. Its support is not even listed in ACR 8.7 RC

Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from internet that was fine with Leopard. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from the internet that was fine with Leopard before. I just got a black screen when I clicked on a pdf icon on a given internet site, and same happened with several sites that I visited. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

Try two things with Safari not running:
1) Launch Adobe Reader, open its preferences, select the Internet category, and check the values under "Display PDF in browser using". If it's checked, try unchecking it.
2) Look in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins (at the top-level of your boot volume) for something names AdobePDFViewer.plugin. If you see such a file, try moving it to a folder named "Disabled Plug-Ins" (if such a folder exists) or onto the Desktop.
Then see how things work.

I have CS2. I shot RAW files with my Nikon D90 and now cannot open them in PS. I heard there was a plug-in to download for this, but cannot find it. Help?

I have CS2. I shot RAW files with my Nikon D90 and now cannot open them in PS. I heard there was a plug-in to download for this, but cannot find it. Help?

You would need at least CS3 with ACR 4.6 to natively edit NEFs from a D90 in PS:

It might also work to use the DNG Converter 4.6 or newer to convert the NEF files to DNGs and then those might open in your older CS2 ACR, but I’m not sure, since it’s a 9 year old program I haven’t used in years.
The DNG Converter can be found, here:

I'm installing Adobe CS2 as a download. After the first 'disk' is installed, the Installer asks for 'CD 2' to be loaded. How do I get around this? No CD; only 'disk' files downloaded.

I need advise on installing Adobe CS2 as a download. The Installer is looking for CD 2 but I don't have a CD. It's a file downloaded and saved to Programs on my hard drive. Adobe CS2 is no longer supported by Adobe Support. Someone out there must have run across this problem before. Help, please.

all the extracted files should be placed in the same directory. by default they fail to extract in the same directory so you will need to manually move them.

I recently purchased an upgrade to Photoshop CS6. (Dec 9 2014). I have today downloaded the file (Photoshop_13_LS16.7z
This downloaded OK
When I tried to run the file (Winzip) I got the following message
"Installer failed to initialise. Could be due to a missing file. Please download Abobe support adviser."
I tried to do that and it told me Adobe support adviser no longer exists.
Could you please advise a solution.

Extract it to a different location inside a dedicated folder and make sure to not destroy the file and folder hierarchy inside the archive. also run the install with sufficient user privielges and security stuff turned off.

This message appears whenever I try to open a file downloaded from internet: can't be opened because it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store

Just bought a new Imac OX 10.9. Installed contents from previous Time Machine. All looks good. But, now, when I try to open any file downloaded from interent (like the Amazon mp3 downloader, for example or a plugin update) I get this message:
"XXX can’t be opened because it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store" . Help! Thanks

Got it solved! System preferences, security & privacy icon, general: allow apps downloaded from Mac Store and Identified developers! Phew!

Firefox blocks file downloads that other browsers allow and when scanned by trends micro anti-virus shows clean. how do I fix this?

firefox will block about 25% of files downloaded & I have yet to find a file type that WON'T be blocked & once blocked it is blocked every time.

Does it say:
Blocked: May contain a virus or spyware — example.com
That message most likely is generated by the Safe Browsing filter, which is a service based on site reputation data from Google. Something changed recently and this service is blocking many more sites.
Unlike the download block notice in Google Chrome, Firefox does not currently have a button to override the block. That is under consideration for a future version.
Currently, the only workaround for this is to temporarily turn off Safe Browsing, do the download, then turn it back on again. Or since you are using a Trend Micro product, you might already have protection against accessing untrustworthy websites in which case you could just turn it off. (Please check your product information.)
The setting is here:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Security panel
It's the checkbox for "Block reported attack sites"
I have attached a screen shot in case it's helpful.

When in Outlook I constantly get Firefox file download prompts. I cannot stop this - please help.

The file downloads are always different but have the following pattern of digits: 8-4-4-11.
If I save the file (they seem to range in size from 6 kb to 30 kb)
there is nothing there when I open it.

Hi ljwayne,
Please make sure that it is not an add on by restarting in Safe Mode: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If this continues you can right click on the window and click on "Page Info". From there you can manage the permissions of pop ups from that site.
If it is already blocked please do a virus scan to make sure there is not a virus or adware. For mac I used to use bitdefender.
Last troubleshooting I can think of: try a new profile. [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]

TS1389 i'm not able to transfer files/download apps through itune. it keep asking me to authorization. i do this for many times....but why this asking me again and again.

To avoid that I would recommend deleting the folder first the copying won't be an issue or deleting all the files in the directory. I know this is an extra step but just like the warning on plastic bags someone somewhere did something they shouldn't have
Sorry, I have been there.
So generally it will ask you if you want to do this for X number of files
IT SHOULD ASK ONCE AND ONLY ONCE
I SAY YES AND GO AWAY AND I HAVE TO COME BACK AND HIT YES AGAIN

THIS IS BAD ADVICE!

I can not resume any type file downloading process.how can i do this?

firefox starts file downloading nicely but when the system is restarted or after load shedding when the computer is re-open,the downloading process can not be resumed and get the information to retry or to contact to server administrator.what can i do now?

If it fails using WiFi, try using iTunes on your computer to update the iPad or use another WiFi network at a friends house or a library, Starbucks, anywhere where you can connect to the Internet.
Or try rebooting your router and the iPad. Unplug your router from power for about 30 seconds, plug. It back in and the reboot the iPad and try again over WiFi.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
