In this tutorial we will discuss about download text files from JAX-RS, for user to download a file, annotate the method with @Produces(“text/plain”) :
See a full example to download a text file in JAX-RS.
package com.dineshonjava.ws.rest; import java.io.File; import javax.ws.rs.GET; import javax.ws.rs.Path; import javax.ws.rs.Produces; import javax.ws.rs.core.Response; import javax.ws.rs.core.Response.ResponseBuilder; /** * @author Dinesh Rajput * */ @Path("/salaryslipfile") public class EmployeeSalarySlip { private static final String FILE_PATH = "d:salary.log"; @GET @Path("/get") @Produces("text/plain") public Response getSalarySlipFile() { File file = new File(FILE_PATH); ResponseBuilder response = Response.ok((Object) file); response.header("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename="salary_slip_file.log""); return response.build(); } }
Deploy above JAX-RS service, access this URI pattern : “http://localhost:8181/sdnext/doj/salaryslipfile/get“.
Figure : Text file “d:salary.log” from server is prompt for user to download, with a new file name “salary_slip_file.log”
