Remember to do response. With Spring 3. If you use this, then your controller does not need a HttpServletResponse object, and therefore it is easier to test.
Except this, this answer is relative equals to the one of Infeligo. If the return value of your pdf framework is an byte array read the second part of my answer for other return values :. Instead it is better to use:. Still, if you can provide a value, it is better. To obtain such value, know that File length should be good enough in the general case, so it is a safe default choice. In very specific scenarios, though, it can be slow , in which case you should have it stored previously e.
Slow scenarios include: if the file is very large, specially if it is on a remote system or something more elaborated like that - a database, maybe. If your resource is not a file, e. This code is working fine to download a file automatically from spring controller on clicking a link on jsp. If you need to download a file from application resources directory, check out my answer : it explains how to locate the resource in class path using ClassPathResource.
Be aware of possibly wrong Content-Type header set see FileSystemResource is returned with content type json. That's why this answer suggests setting the Content-Type explicitly. Sometimes it is necessary to force a download in a browser or to make the browser open a file as a preview. You can use the Content-Disposition header to satisfy this requirement:.
The first parameter in the HTTP context is either inline default value, indicating it can be displayed inside the Web page, or as the Web page or attachment indicating it should be downloaded; most browsers presenting a 'Save as' dialog, prefilled with the value of the filename parameters if present. In the Spring Framework a ContentDisposition can be used. You can display PDF or download it examples here. If it helps anyone. You can do what the accepted answer by Infeligo has suggested but just put this extra bit in the code for a forced download.
Very important is mime type in produces and also that, that name of the file is a part of the link so you has to use PathVariable. Is it ok to export data as pdf format in frontend? Extending to this, adding content-disposition as an attachment default will download the file. If you want to view it, you need to set it to inline.

The below implementation only difers in the process of getting the file from databse rather then a file system. While downloading multiple files, we can create a zip file in spring boot and download that zip file alone rather then downloading multiple files individually.
Here, we will be using ZipOutputStream from java. Below is the example. To test this functionality, we can make a GET request with name as a query parameter which includes all the file names that we want to be included in the final. We tested the above implementation with Postman. But in my previous tutorial, we have created other tutorials to achieve the same functionality with popular Javascript framework and library.
You can follow this article to implement the file uploading client with Angular and this tutorial with React Js. In this article, we disussed about different ways to upload and download files and images with spring boot REST and tested with Postman.
