Strange behavior while returning csv file from spring controller
- by Fanooos
I working in a spring application which have an action method that returns a CSV file.
This action works fine but in some cases it throws a predefined exception (MyAppException).
I have another method that is annotated @ExceptionHandler(MyAppException.class)
In the exception handler method I return another csv file but with different contents.
The code that returns the csv file is almost the same in the two methods.
List<String[]> list= new ArrayList<String[]>();
list.add(new String[]{
integrationRequestErrorLog.getErrorMessage(),
Long.toString(integrationRequestErrorLog.getId()),
Integer.toString(integrationRequestErrorLog.getErrorCode())
});
CSVWriter writer = new CSVWriter(response.getWriter(), ',');
writer.writeAll(list);
writer.close();
the difference between the two method is the list of contents.
In the first method the file is returned normally while in the exception handler method I have a strange behavior.
The exception handler method works fine with Opera browser while it gives me a 404 with FireFox.
Opera browser give me 404 also but it download the file while firefox does not?
Really I do not understand what is the difference here.
