I have String that contains xml data like :

String strXml = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?> <Name> sample     <name> ";

I want to download the string strXml as XML file. Below code open the xml file instead of downloading it.

PrintWriter out=response.getWriter();
out.write(strXml );

Please suggeest how to download the data in string strXml as XML file.

Solution

  • You are talking about file download from web site? You should write following response headers:

    Content-type: application/octet-stream

Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=filename.xml

    then you can just out.print(strXml) with a content of the file. Browser will ask a user to download filename.xml
