How to programmatically download a file from Ivy-Server "files/application"-folder into a folder on the client with JSF?

Question

Hello! How can I download a file from the Ivy-Server's "files/application"-folder to a folder on the client with JSF per program-code? We are using only JSF in this project. No RIA. Is it possibly to download a file to the client without user-interaction in JSF, at all? Kind Regards, Helmut

Accepted Answer

In my project I solved it via the RequestContext framework from primefaces. It lets you invoke java script code on the client. And in this case I send a redirect to my file as javascript command. The following code should work in a dialog script activity:

import org.primefaces.context.RequestContext;
String redirectScript = "window.location.href='"+ivy.html.fileref(in.exportedFile)+"';";
RequestContext.getCurrentInstance().execute(redirectScript);
