Can someone help me send a zip file for download to a browser. I have a
method that is called from a JSP page that returns a ZipOutputStream . How
can I then send this zip file to the client as a download?

Many Thanks,

Marcus Robinson

Does the zip file that you want to send to the browser already exist,
or is it being created on the fly?
You can create a temporary zip file on the server's side and then
create a link to it to make it available for download.
If you have a command-line zip utility installed on the server's side,
then you can execute that command from within java to create the zip file you want.

The zip file is being created on the fly and I would rather not create
a link to a tempory file. I have a ZipOutputStram being passed to a
JSP page, is it not possible to modify the response to include the
output stream?

Cheers,
