Question

I am generating a csv (comma separated value) file with Java Server Pages (JSP). The URL shows "my_generated_csv.jsp".

What I want to do is simple: The user clicks "Generate" which downloads the generated CSV file. I’d like to generate it with the JSP. Do I need to rethink my approach?

Edit:

The following code works to make the file downloadable, but the extension remains the same. Does anyone know how to change it?

<% response.setContentType("text/csv"); %>  

Answer 1

Found the answer:

response.setContentType('application/csv'); response.setHeader('Content-Disposition', 'inline;filename=myfile.csv');
