sample code to provide a link to download an application,on clicking the link some file should be downloaded.
I am making a webapplication which is to be used on mobile devices and i have to download an apllication from this webapplication ,what tag or code should be used in Struts??? please reply soon

You can try by calling a servlet or jsp in that hyperlink or onclick of a button, and in that servlet/jsp set the content type [response.setContentType()] to the appropriate MIME type and the second thing you need to set is "content-disposition" header, see the bellow example

response.setHeader("Content-disposition","attachment; filename=fileName");

after setting these two values open the stream to the file and send all the bytes to the ourupt stream which you can get by response.getOutputStream()

hello rakesh
thanks for ur reply,i have already made a link and written a download action class and struts-config changes.
but its giving servletexception error
<action path="/downloadMyCABFile" type="org.apache.struts.actions.DownloadAction" parameter="/resources/SmartDeviceCab1.CAB"/>

or else if i write
<action path="/downloadMyCABFile" type="
/strutsExample/ExampleFileDownload" parameter="/resources/SmartDeviceCab1.CAB"/>

then it is giving File notFoundException error
