Problem to download a file from 2 browsers at the time

java-programmer, Problem to download a file from 2 browsers at the time I have this JSP that download an excel file.

It works fine if I use only one browser at the same time.

The problem is when I try to do this but from 2 browsers at the same
time. From each browser I can download a part of the file but not the
complete file.
It seems the browsers are sharing the bandwidth and when it starts to
download a file the other stops.

I have look the logs, and I saw the file has downloaded to the computer

and while the the jsp is working.
I don't undestand why the file has finished to download and while the
jsp is still executing.

Can you help me please?

do anybody try this JSP and tell me if the result is the same as me?

------------------------------------------JSP

<%@page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel"%>

Date fecha = new Date();

java.sql.Date fechaSQL = new java.sql.Date(fecha.getTime());

Calendar calendario = Calendar.getInstance();
calendario.setTime(fecha); // fecha es el Date de antes.
String strHour = String.valueOf( calendario.get(Calendar.HOUR) );
String strMinute = String.valueOf( calendario.get(Calendar.MINUTE) );
String strSecond = String.valueOf( calendario.get(Calendar.SECOND) );

String nombre = "FILE" + strHour + strMinute + strSecond + ".xls";

System.out.println( " IN OF " + nombre );

response.setContentType( "application/x-download" );

response.setHeader("Content-type","application/vnd.ms-excel");

response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=\""
+ nombre + "\"");

System.out.println( nombre + " START" );

for (int l=0;l<30000;l++){
System.out.println( nombre + " " + l );

for (int k=0;k<250;k++){

out.write(nombre + " : ("+ l + "," + k + ")" + "\t" );

}
out.write("\n");

}

System.out.println( nombre + " END" );

I can't see any error and suspect that your browser is broken. Try
downloading from two separate computers and with different browsers.

java-programmer >> Problem to download a file from 2 browsers at the time I think the problem is the version of Tomcat, my actual version is
5.5.4.

I have tried in other version 5.5.9 and it work fine.

It is the version of tomcat or perhaps it is configuration of tomcat,
I don't Know.

I don't think this is a configuration problem. You probably found an old
bug in tomcat if updating tomcat fixes the issue. I tested your code
with Jetty and Safari, and it works fine.

java-programmer >> Problem to download a file from 2 browsers at the time Thanks. I am going to change the version of tomcat.

First of all, don't think we ignore you if we don't reply - it's possible
that nobody has a clear answer for your problem, or nobody has encountered
this behaviour.

Second, have your tried the following (as I do not have a solution at the
moment):
- download with different browsers?
- download, wait until finished, download with other browser?
- experiment with browser cache settings?

You mentioned log files - which log files? What did you come up with?

Some time ago, I wrote a servlet which served up .csv files, reports
generated on a database. Should you need it, I'll try to dig it up again.

Best of luck,

Hi,

I think it's much more efficient to implement the file downloading
mechanism in a Servlet, I don't think it's a good idea to put that kind
of code in a JSP.

Then, I'm wondering about that code you posted. Is it really generating
a valid XLS file ? And where is your "download" script ?

I'd advice you to read this tutorial :
http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/excerpt/jebp_3/index1.html?page=1

I think it'll give you a good hint on how to make your download Servlet.
