download large files using servlet
- by niks
I am using Apache Tomcat Server 6 and Java 1.6 and am trying to write large mp3 files to the ServletOutputStream for a user to download. Files are ranging from a 50-750MB at the moment.
The smaller files aren't causing too much of a problem but with the larger files it and getting socket exception broken pipe.
File fileMp3 = new File(objDownloadSong.getStrSongFolder() + "/" + strSongIdName);
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(fileMp3);
response.setContentType("audio/mpeg");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + strSongName + ".mp3\";");
response.setContentLength((int) fileMp3.length());
OutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
try {
int byteRead = 0;
while ((byteRead = fis.read()) != -1) {
os.write(byteRead);
}
os.flush();
} catch (Exception excp) {
downloadComplete = "-1";
excp.printStackTrace();
} finally {
os.close();
fis.close();
}
