Question

I need to download pdf file using Jersey Web Services i already do the following but the file size received is always 0 (zero).

 @Produces({"application/pdf"})
 @GET
 @Path("/pdfsample")
 public Response getPDF()  {

    File f = new File("D:/Reports/Output/Testing.pdf");
    return Response.ok(f, "application/pdf").build();

 }

Please help to do the correct way, thanks !!

Mkyong always delivers. Looks like the only thing you are missing is the correct response header.

@GET
@Path("/get")
@Produces("application/pdf")
public Response getFile() {
    File file = new File(FILE_PATH);
    ResponseBuilder response = Response.ok((Object) file);
    response.header("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=test.pdf");
    return response.build();
}
