DWR

After returning a org.directwebremoting.io.FileTransfer object from a java method, the name parameter in the constructor seems to be ignored. Instead a random hex value is returned on the javascript side.

This issue was already discussed here: http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-What-is-the-proper-way-to-open-the-file-returned-by-FileTransfer--p15510849.html

java:
return new FileTransfer("filename.txt", "text/comma-separated-values", buffer.toByteArray());

js:
DownloadService.getFile( {
  callback: function(data) { window.open(data); } // data is a string pointing to /<context>/dwr/download/<random-hex-value>
});
