I'm using Primefaces
p:fileDownload
to download a file which is not in class path.
So I'm passing FileInputStream as parameter to DefaultStreamedContent.
Every thing works fine when my bean is kept at @SessionScoped...,
But
java.io.NotSerializableException: java.io.FileInputStream
is thrown when I keep my bean in @Viewscoped.
My Code:
DownloadBean.java
@ManagedBean
@ViewScoped
public class DownloadBean implements Serializable {
private StreamedContent dFile;
public StreamedContent getdFile() {
return dFile;
}
public void setdFile(StreamedContent dFile) {
this.dFile = dFile;
}
/**
* This Method will be called when download link is clicked
*/
public void downloadAction()
{
File tempFile = new File("C:/temp.txt");
try {
dFile = new DefaultStreamedContent(new FileInputStream(tempFile), new MimetypesFileTypeMap().getContentType(tempFile));
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
index.xhtml
<h:form>
<h:commandLink action="#{downloadBean.downloadAction}">
Download
<p:fileDownload value="#{downloadBean.dFile}"/>
</h:commandLink>
</h:form>
Isn't there any method to make it work?
