Hey. Me again Smile

In our application i want to send a download to the client. The file is generated on the fly and sent to the client. So far everything works like a charm with this code:

    public boolean sendDownload(byte[] data, String filename) {
        DownloadService service = new DownloadService(data, filename);
        service.register();

        UrlLauncher launcher = RWT.getClient().getService(UrlLauncher.class);
        launcher.openURL(service.getURL());
        return true;
    }

    private static final class DownloadService implements ServiceHandler {

        private final byte[] data;
        private final String filename;
        private String id;

        public DownloadService(byte[] data, String filename) {
            this.data = data;
            this.filename = filename;
            this.id = calculateId();
        }

        public String getURL() {
            return RWT.getServiceManager().getServiceHandlerUrl(getId());
        }

        private String getId() {
            return id;
        }

        private String calculateId() {
            return String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis()) + data.length;
        }

        public boolean register() {
            try {
                RWT.getServiceManager().registerServiceHandler(getId(), this);
                return true;
            } catch (Exception e) {
                log.error("failed to register download service handler", e);
                return false;
            }
        }

        private boolean unregister() {
            try {
                RWT.getServiceManager().unregisterServiceHandler(getId());
                return true;
            } catch (Exception e) {
                log.error("failed to unregister download service handler", e);
                return false;
            }
        }

        @Override
        public void service(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
                throws IOException, ServletException {
            try {
                response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");
                response.setContentLength(data.length);
                response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + filename
                        + "\"");
                response.getOutputStream().write(data);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                log.error("failed to dispatch download");
            } finally {
                unregister();
            }
        }

    }


the problem i have with this solution is, that it will open a separate browser window, and leave it open (at least with chrome), after the download was sent. is there a way to

1) close the browser window again?
2) don't open a browser window at all, but send the download in the main window (without destroying the running application Smile)?

Thanks!

Hi.

We are aware of the issue. It was discussed, but no full solution could
be implemented for 2.0. I suggest you open an enhancement request for a
RAP downloader service on Bugzilla. As a workaround you could use the
JavaScriptExecuter to render something like "window.location = myURL".

Greetings,
Tim
