I try something like this:

ExternalResource resource = new ExternalResource(basepath +
                                "/WEB-INF/icons/"+"block_16.png");
Page.getCurrent().open(resource.getURL(),"Download",true);

but i have empty about:blank page and nothing happens...


Solution

  • I resolve my problem!

    private String basepath = VaadinService.getCurrent()
                .getBaseDirectory().getAbsolutePath();
    private Button saveExcel = new Button();
    Resource res = new FileResource(new File(basepath +
                    "/WEB-INF/docs/settings.xlsx"));
    FileDownloader fd = new FileDownloader(res);
    fd.extend(saveExcel);
    

    It's so easy to download from server in Vaadin
