Is there any way of sending content to the server and generating the downloadable file without submitting this content in the URL as parameter to the servlet?

Well, you can use a form with method=post.

If I were you, I'd try doing it all in JS for browsers that support it (support is rather good actually: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/features/file_access, e.g. constructing a blog and providing a download link with the blob URL), and only fallback to the "send to servlet" solution if that doesn't work.
