Question

I am using my-faces 2.1.5 primefaces 3.2 and WebLogic Server Version: 10.3.2.0

While I am generating files and trying to download them via p:fileDownload I get the following error message:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: strict servlet API: cannot call getWriter() after getOutputStream()

I don’t know if it’s a bug in the weblogic or perhaps it’s a bug in my code ?

This message is the only reference that I got and I don’t have any clue how to solve this issue

The jsf file:

<p:commandButton id="genButton" value="Generate Files" disabled="#{bean.disableButton}" actionListener="#{bean.generate}" onclick="PrimeFaces.monitorDownload(showStatus, hideStatus)" ajax="false" style="width:200px" icon="ui-icon-shuffle">
        <p:fileDownload value="#{bean.zipfile}"/>  
        </p:commandButton> 

The bean:

     File zip = File.createTempFile(selectedCode, "zip");  

            ZipOutputStream zos = new ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(zip.getPath()));  
            for (File file : adapter.listFiles) {  
                addFileToZip(file, zos);  
            }  

            InputStream in = new FileInputStream(zip);  
            file = new DefaultStreamedContent(in, "zip", selectedCode + ".zip");  
            adapter.listFiles.clear();  
            zos.flush();  
            zos.close();

It’s look like i found the solution 🙂

in case the list is empty then …

  else {
            if (streamedContent != null) {
                streamedContent.getStream().close();
                streamedContent = null;
            }
        }

Thanks for the help.
