Re: GWT and HttpServletResponse

you can generate some metadata on serverside & send back to client (via rpc) &  let client generate the path to your file & then either redirect (with Window.assign(url) or let user click to the generated link to get the file.
i dont think you can get binary input stream from client to get the file directly with rpc

Hi guys. I've got a question for you:

i need to create a web app which, starting from an input string given
by the user through the browser, generates a file that has to be
downloaded by the user self.

My approach would  be the following: the input string is sent by a RPC
to a server-side class that creates the file from the given string,
and then the file is sent to the client-side, ready to be downloaded.

Now, in "classic servlet way", i would use a HttpServetResponse to set
the header, the content type, and attach the file... how can i do this
with GWT?

Thank you mates!
