You can use JavaScript to toggle the image on or off when the link is clicked without reloading the page. You may want to take a look at JQuery. If you want to do it with Java/JSP then you can have all of your file name links point to a servlet that will kick off the download, but also keep a list of the file names clicked in a session variable. You can then reload the page and use the session variable to determine which file names should have an icon next to them.
