Hi Ran
JSR168 portlets do not support rendering CSV - just HTML and WML as far as I
am aware.
The usual work-around is to define a servlet inside your portlet application
WAR that serves the other file types. We do this regularly to serve RTF,
PDF, CSV and image formats.
The servlet and the portlet can both access the global session, so you can
pass the data to be rendered without problem. Also, the URL published by the
portlet can point to the servlet (opening in a new window if appropriate),
and you can use URL parameters to pass any info you like. Make sure you use
the response.encodeUrl() method, or a portlet tag to form the URL.
Best solution is to move to a JSR286 compliant portal server - then the
problem goes away.
So this is not a Tomcat issue - more useful help may be found on the
Jetspeed user list.
Regards
Ron

Hello, I'm using Jetspeed 1.6, running on Tomcat.
In a portlet I developed, I create a .csv file and print a link to it.
The
user then needs to right-click on the file and select "save file as".
The dialogue that pops up defaults to file type HTML file, and replaces
the
.csv extension of the file I link to with .htm.
Is there anyway to resolve this? I really need to give access to the
csv
file as-is, and not bother my clients more than neccessary.
Are you setting the "Content-type" header to "text/csv", or are you just
generating it with a JSP?
The latter will automatically set text/html as the content type.
You may also want to change the content-disposition header in order to
make your server prompt the user with the "save as" dialog:
For example,
response.setHeader("Content-disposition",
"attachment; filename=" +
defaultCsvFilename );

Thank you, but this solution doesn't seem to work on Jetspeed, due to the
fact that I'm running JSR-168 Portlets on it. I don't believe they support
changing the response's ContentType.
I wanted to know if there was anything about the Tomcat platform that
could
result in a CSV file defaulting to an HTM file, and if there was anything
to
do about it.
