Hi
Actually I have a functionality that can upload a file to some loaction and the name of the file to the database.
Now I want to download that file through java struts.
Is that possible.Can any one help me out.

What i did is i retrieved the name of the file from databse and displayed it int the form of a table using jsp.Now i have to create a link for the file name and be able to view it
please help me out in this regard..

i wrote a code like this....

File fileUpload = new File(strUploadDirectory+"\\"+strFile_Name);
FileInputStream fileIn = new FileInputStream(fileUpload);
OutputStream fout=response.getOutputStream();
//((ServletResponse) fout).setContentLength((int) fileUpload.length());
byte[] buffer = new byte[8192];
int bytesRead = fileIn.read(buffer);

while (bytesRead >= 0) {
if (bytesRead > 0)
fout.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
bytesRead = fileIn.read(buffer);
}

the file which i want to retrieve is comming but the problem is the actual data in the file is displayed as some other form which we cant understand...

how to resolve this problem?????

fout.flush();
fout.close();
fileIn.close();

That means you are trying to type cast to a type that is incompatible with the type you are casting from.
Are using a servlet?
