Java Servlet BUG (Possibly)-Servlet classname replaces retrieved doc name

Question

I created a test servlet (TestServlet.java) which reads data from a file which could be pdf/doc/xls/zip etc and presents the file to the user for download. When the user clicks on the save option to save the file the default name before the file extension of the file in the save dialog box is always TestServlet. i.e. If the file being downloaded is BEA.doc the default name in the save dialog box is TestServlet.doc
The contents of the file(data in the file) are correct but the default name should be BEA.doc and not TestServlet.doc. I get the same result if the file is a pdf/xls or any other file type which is being downloaded.
We tested this in BEA Weblogic 8.1 and Tomcat and get the same results both places so this issue is not application server specific and seems like a bug to us.
The TestServlet.java file is below
package com.test;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class TestServlet  extends HttpServlet
    private String fileName = "c:/BEA.doc";
    private FileInputStream  rd;
    private ByteArrayOutputStream wr;
    byte[] buf = new byte[8192];    //buffer size
    byte[] fileData;
    public void doGet(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response) throws javax.servlet.ServletException, java.io.IOException
        doPost(request,response);     
    public void doPost(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response) throws javax.servlet.ServletException, java.io.IOException
        int count = 0;
        try
            File theFile = new File(fileName);
            if (theFile.exists())
                try
                    rd = new FileInputStream(fileName);
                    wr = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
                    while ((count = rd.read(buf)) > -1)
                        wr.write(buf, 0, count);
                    rd.close();                   
                    fileData = wr.toByteArray();
                    response.setContentType("application/msword");
                    OutputStream sos = response.getOutputStream();
                    sos.write(fileData);
                    sos.flush();
                    sos.close();                  
                catch(Exception ex)
                    System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
            else
                response.setContentType("text");
                response.getWriter().write("no data");
        catch (Exception e)
            e.printStackTrace();       
} I get the same results. i.e. The name of the document downloaded by the servlet is TestServlet.doc instead of BEA.doc which is what I have in c:\BEA.doc.

Answer 1

The web browser downloading this knows nothing about the file you are loading from disk and sending via the servlet. All it knows is that it requested via Http on the url TestServlet, and is getting something in return.
A quick google pulled up this link: http://builder.com.com/5100-6370-1027645.html
You might try this:
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","inline;filename=\"BEA.doc\"");
good luck,
