Using Stream Result with Struts2

I am attempting to use a Stream Result to return an image from a struts2 application. I seem to be having problem with configuring the action. Here is the configuration:

    <result name="success" type="stream">
            <param name="contentType">image/jpeg</param>
            <param name="inputName">inputStream</param>
            <param name="contentDisposition">filename="${filename}"</param>
            <param name="bufferSize">1024</param>
    </result>

The problem seem to be the inputName parameter which according to the docs is:

the name of the InputStream property from the chained action (default = inputStream).

I am not sure what name I should put there. The error I get is:

Can not find a java.io.InputStream with the name [inputStream] in the invocation stack.

Has anyone used this before? Any advice?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I believe you have the contentDisposition wrong, it should be:

<param name="contentDisposition">attachment; filename="${filename}"</param>

Answer 2

I found this which explained that the InputStream has to be created by me. It makes sense that I create an InputStream from the file that I want the user to download and then pass the Stream to the result. I guess that's my answer.

Answer 3

Inputname defines the name of the method that outputs the "stream"

public InputStream getInputStream () { return new ByteArrayInputStream ( _bytes ); }

java - In Struts2, how do you share your common html across all pages?

In Struts2, how do you share your common html across all pages? In Asp.net, you've got Master pages, and in Rails there are Layouts. The idea is that your common html (eg the header, menu, and styles) are all easy to maintain because they are in one place, but for the life of me i can't find the equivalent feature in Struts2. Is it called something else, or something, is that why i can't find it?
