I am trying to solve this issue which happens only during downloading any big file (size of 500mb). Currently what I have done is as follows
However I am still getting this error at my controller (I am using Spring MVC)
org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve invoke
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [mvc-dispatcher] in context with path [] threw exception [Handler processing failed; nested exception is java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space] with root cause
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

UPDATED (The function which loads the file)
@RequestMapping(value = "/files/{file_name}/d", method = RequestMethod.GET)
@ResponseBody
public byte[] extractFile(@PathVariable("file_name") String fileName,
HttpServletResponse response) {
try {
File file = new File("C:\\" + fileName);
InputStream is = new FileInputStream(file);
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=\""
+ file.getName() + "\"");
;
int read = 0;
byte[] bytes = new byte[(int) file.length()];
OutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
while ((read = is.read(bytes)) != -1) {
os.write(bytes, 0, read);
}
os.flush();
os.close();
is.close();
return bytes;
} catch (IOException ex) {
throw new RuntimeException("IOError writing file to output stream");
}
}
What else did I miss here ?
