Tapestry save file dialog

I learn the Tapestry version 5. where I built a treemodel, which presents the files inside the catalog.

<t:tree t:id="tree" t:model="stuffModel" t:node="treeNode" t:value="classificationNode">
    <p:label>
    <t:if test="treeNode.leaf">
    <a t:type="EventLink" t:event="leafSelected" t:context="classificationNode.name" t:zone="selectedZone" class="prop:leafClass" href="#"> ${treeNode.label} </a>
    </t:if>
    <t:if test="!treeNode.leaf">
            ${treeNode.label}
    </t:if>
    </p:label>

By clicking one of the files I build a StreamResponse ( I used the snippet from the jumpstart code ( page: http://jumpstart.doublenegative.com.au/jumpstart/examples/navigation/returntypes1 )

My problem and my question is how do I present a save-file-dialog that will help the user to point the download folder. In order to really download the file I must make right-click and then choose "save file as..." ?

Solution

  • The solution is to remove the zone part of the template, as this returns JSON data from the server and causes break up of communication handling. Relevant post: http://www.mail-archive.com/users%40tapestry.apache.org/msg75396.html
