I have a button in the UI that calls method for downloading a file
which takes an InpuStream
type. This is my code
<p:commandButton value="Download" actionListener="#{cc.attrs.noteAndFileBean.downloadFileAttached(noteAndFile)}" />
and the bean
public void downloadFileAttached(final GridFSDBFile noteAndFile)
{
try
{
PortletResponse portletResponse = (PortletResponse) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getResponse();
HttpServletResponse response = PortalUtil.getHttpServletResponse(portletResponse);
response.setContentType(noteAndFile.getContentType());
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + noteAndFile.getFilename());
response.setHeader("Content-Transfer-Encoding", "binary");
response.getOutputStream().write(IOUtils.toByteArray(noteAndFile.getInputStream()));
response.flushBuffer();
}
catch (IOException excpetion)
{
LOGGER.error("An error occurred downloading the file: " + excpetion.getMessage(), excpetion);
showMessage(ERROR, "Problemas al descargar el archivo");
}
}
The GridFSDBFile
type is an object that stores files in mongo then for get the InputStream
I call getInputStream()
then I pass it to byte array
.
When I call this method I receive a big exception (Part of it)
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException

How can I download the file?
I found the solution, It's important get Liferay's ServletResponse and pass it the InputStream in byte array.
public StreamedContent getDownloadFileStreamContent(final GridFSDBFile noteAndFile)
{
try
{
PortletResponse portletResponse = (PortletResponse) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext()
.getResponse();
HttpServletResponse res = PortalUtil.getHttpServletResponse(portletResponse);
res.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + noteAndFile.getFilename() + "\"");//
res.setHeader("Content-Transfer-Encoding", "binary");
res.setContentType(noteAndFile.getContentType());
res.getOutputStream().write(IOUtils.toByteArray(noteAndFile.getInputStream()));
res.flushBuffer();
showMessage(SUCCESS, "Archivo descargado");
}
catch (IOException ioe)
{
showMessage(ERROR, "Problemas al descargar el archivo");
LOGGER.error("An error occurred uploading the file: " + ioe.getMessage(), ioe);
}
return null;
}
Adicionaly I use the primefaces's component
<p:commandButton value="Nuevo Download" ajax="false" update="growl">
<p:fileDownload value="#{cc.attrs.noteAndFileBean.getDownloadFileStreamContent(noteAndFile)}" />
</p:commandButton>
