How to download a file from a link within an AIR application ?

Dear friends, I have created a simple AIR app with Flex, where it basically navigates toa specific URL. It works fine, all the links, and so on... however, when I need to click a specific link to download a file (DOC, XLS, PDF) from it... it just do NOT work !  why is it ? what am I supposed to do to achieve my purpose ? Appreciate any help, thanks in advance !

Hi Arun,
Goto AL11 - > click on the directory path and select your file  -open the file - > click on menu item List - >save/send -> file
-> select the type of file.
Or you can write a small abap code using DATASETS. If you require I will post the code.
Hope it helps you.

Rajani.

    Hi,
    For file down load u have to use a UI element as "File download".
    u just create context attribute as setdownload_res and file data.
    setdownload_res as of type "com.sap.ide.webdynpro.uielementdefinitions.Resource" then bound it to the ui element "resource".
    file data as of type "com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDInputStream"
    and set calcuclated as true and read only as true.
    then in doinit method u just write this code
    IWDAttributePointer attr = wdContext.currentContextElement().getAttributePointer("fileData");
    IWDResource res = WDResourceFactory.createResource(attr,null,WDWebResourceType.UNKNOWN);
    wdContext.currentContextElement().setDownload_res(res);
    wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(""+c);
    after this in the getter method u write this code
    IWDInputStream stream = null;
    try
    stream = WDResourceFactory.createInputStream(new FileInputStream(new File("<pathof the file to be download>")));
    catch(Exception e)
    e.printStackTrace();
    return stream;

  • How to download a file from a custom server location?

    Hello experts,
    I have the following scenario:
    A BAPI creates an .exe file and stores it in a custom folder in the server where the portal (and my WD application) is running. This happens once a day.
    What I need to do is create a link or button (doesn't matter) so that users can click on it and download this file.
    I already checked the file upload - download tutorial (http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/202a850a-58e0-2910-eeb3-bfc3e081257f;jsessionid=%28J2EE3417500%29ID0774236150DB11016171821629714331End?overridelayout=true) however this one considers the file to be downloaded is stored in the src folder of the project, thus it doesn't really help me.
    How can I achieve this? Any suggestions and help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    hi Alain,
    Use File API to read data from the file. It will return byte array from the file. Set Byte array to the file resouce context attribute.
    bind this attribute to the filedownload UI element.
    Since you need to read file from the same server where webdynpro application is running, You can give the folder path on the server where the file is located.
    try {
                   File inputFile =
                   new File("C:\\Test\\Test.txt");
                   FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(inputFile);
                   byte b[] = new byte[ inputFile.length()];
                   in.read(b);
                   in.close();
              } catch (FileNotFoundException e1) {
                   // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                   e1.printStackTrace();
              } catch (IOException e1) {
                   // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                   e1.printStackTrace();

    Hi,

    I did not find any examples on how to achieve this using OAF. All I see is downloading file from BLOB inside a database.

    OAMessageDownloadBean is the bean that lets you download a file from middletier.

  • How to download a file from Oracle UCM using OSB

    Hi,
    How can I download a file from Oracle UCM and save it on a filesystem using OSB 11.1.1.5.
    Thanks

    UCM supplies webservice interfaces which let you retrieve the filecontent by soap calls from UCM (http://ucmhost/_dav/cs/idcplg for example). (maybe you should enable some settings on ucm to have this webservice interface getting published).
    This services for example has 2 operations getFileByID and getFileByName.
    So you can just call these services from within OSB.
    After that you need to do some tests if you eitherway need to create a file-transport business-service and call this one from your proxy service or create a messageType proxyservice (binary)  which calls this file-transport business service to be able to write fo filesystem.
    I think for the OSB book i used a jca file adapter generated in Jdeveloper and used that one to write to filesystem.

  • How to download a file from server machine to client machine using jsp

    Hi,
    In my application, I have an excel file stored on my server machine. How can I download that excel file on to my client machine using jsp. Is there any other way I can open that file from my machine and save it in my machine using jsp/java?
    Its an emergency for me to do this.
    Can anyone provide me the full code to download a file from server machine as I don't have
    time to browse through various sites.
    thanks in advance,
    Tiijnar

    Please post your code using code tags (click on CODE above the text area, when posting)
    response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");Why octet-stream? Set the correct mime-type.
    String disHeader = "Attachment; Filename=\"filename\"";The filename should just be the file's name. Not the complete path to the file! This will tell anyone where the file is located on the server. It's also inconvenient because by default,the browser will suggest it as the name for the download.
    Your way of writing to the output stream is just plain wrong. See this snippet (picked from [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/07/fileservlet.html])
            BufferedInputStream input = null;
            BufferedOutputStream output = null;
            try {
                // Open streams.
                input = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file), DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE);
                output = new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream(), DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE);
                // Write file contents to response.
                byte[] buffer = new byte[DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE];
                int length;
                while ((length = input.read(buffer)) > 0) {
                    output.write(buffer, 0, length);
                // Finalize task.
                output.flush();
            } finally {
                // Gently close streams.
                close(output);
                close(input);
            }
