[PJUG Javamail] downloading file from JEE server app to client

[Michael Phoenix]

I am currently creating a file in a Web app bean. Any suggestions on
how to download the file to the client? I want to be able to get a
directory name from the client and put the file on that directory
using a standard file name determined by the Web app. The thing that
is particualrly mystifying to me is how to get the data file from the
server side to the client. I've googled it but am apparently not
wording things properly. I am using JSF, but understand AJAX and
javascript if the easiest solution involves those technologies.

Thanks,
Mike
