Thanks , I got it working with Download Action. But one thing missing in the tutorial was that there was no mention that this Download Action was available post struts 1.2.6. Would be great if this is included.
Thanks all. -----Original Message----- From: Frank W.

I could be wrong, but I don't remember anything that would make that not work.
