I am attempting to use a Stream Result to return an image from a struts2 application. I seem to be having problem with configuring the action. Here is the configuration:
<result name="success" type="stream">
<param name="contentType">image/jpeg</param>
<param name="inputName">inputStream</param>
<param name="contentDisposition">filename="${filename}"</param>
<param name="bufferSize">1024</param>
</result>
The problem seem to be the inputName parameter which according to the docs is:
the name of the InputStream property from the chained action (default = inputStream).
I am not sure what name I should put there. The error I get is:
Can not find a java.io.InputStream with the name [inputStream] in the invocation stack.
Has anyone used this before? Any advice?
Thanks.
I found this which explained that the InputStream
has to be created by me. It makes sense that I create an InputStream
from the file that I want the user to download and then pass the Stream to the result. I guess that's my answer.
