response.setContentType

[bbq]

I'm using Tomcat

I have my servlet:

response.setContentType("text/plain");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();

What I want is the browser able to prompt a 'Save As' screen instead of display my plain text directly in the browser.
Any ideas?

response().setContentType("application/msword");
//set header name
response().setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=DocumentName" + ".doc");

Writer writer = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(response().getOutputStream(), "UTF-8"));
writer.write();
writer.flush();
writer.close();

@amateur,

i am facing the same problem. i want to get an object of the file in my javascript instead of opening a "save as" dialogue box... Is it possible to get file objects from servlets along with other data into our script.???
