Package org.alfresco.web.app.servlet

Class DownloadContentServlet

java.lang.Object

javax.servlet.GenericServlet

javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet

org.alfresco.web.app.servlet.DownloadContentServlet

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, javax.servlet.Servlet, javax.servlet.ServletConfig

public class DownloadContentServlet
extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet

Servlet responsible for streaming node content from the repo directly to the response stream. The appropriate mimetype is calculated based on filename extension.

The URL to the servlet should be generated thus:

/alfresco/download/attach/workspace/SpacesStore/0000-0000-0000-0000/myfile.pdf

or

/alfresco/download/direct/workspace/SpacesStore/0000-0000-0000-0000/myfile.pdf

The 'attach' or 'direct' element is used to indicate whether to display the stream directly in the browser or download it as a file attachment.

Since ACS 6.X, this Servlet redirects to GET /nodes/{nodeId}/content V1 REST API.
