File not downloading

I'm having difficulty trying to get my program to use <p:fileDownload/> my button press to trigger it.

 <p:commandButton>
    <p:fileDownload value="#{searchBean.currentSearch.file}"/>
 </p:commandButton>

my code to download it

public StreamedContent getFile() throws FileNotFoundException
{
    InputStream stream =  new FileInputStream(new File(ppath + ".csv"));
    StreamedContent temp = new DefaultStreamedContent(stream, "download/csv", ppath + ".csv");
    return temp;
}

I have checked in debug mode stream is not null and the file does exist. I'm using hosting using glassfish 3.1. Any ideas where I am going wrong?

Solution

  • Try setting ajax to false.

     <p:commandButton ajax="false">
    <p:fileDownload value="#{searchBean.currentSearch.file}"/>
 </p:commandButton>
