You should do that. A .doc file cannot be represented by arrays of
characters
since they are binary data.

You are using the binary/octet-stream MIME type because you want the browser
to download the file, I hope so. I dont know your implementation of this
getDoc method
but I am sure using a String-typed reference to store its return value is
not appropriate.
Try working with simple byte arrays and then optimize your implementation to
take
advantage of the java.io package.
Hope it helps.
