Re: making any file forcefully downloadable

you can try the following :

    1.  Set the Content Type to "application/word"
    2.  Set the Response Header 'Content-Disposition' to
"attachment;filename=\"<your-file-name>.doc\" "
    3.  Open an InputStream to the file , read bit-by-bit and push it to
ServletOutputStream
