File download from servlet

[Verbetex]

Does anyone know how I can make a link on my site that currently points to a servlet, work so that the servlet can return the files it finds based on the parameters passed to it so that the user can download them?

In short, I want the user to be able to click on a link, and have the save as... dialog box popup so that they can save the files.

Any ideas??

Hi Verbetex:

Do you want to save files from the server in the client machine? You say it is a list of files (1->n), so, if there are more than one, you want as many save dialogs as files to download?

Could it be an html page with a link for each file?

I have got it working so that a user submits a form that has a list of files and he selects the ones he wants by checking their checkboxes.

at the moment, I can make it so that the first file is downloaded (via the ssave as dialog popping up).

What i want is for one popup for each file submitted.

I don't think it's possible and will make a work around with making a page with the links to download on that.
