Class BinariesServlet

java.lang.Object
  javax.servlet.GenericServlet
      javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet
          org.hippoecm.hst.servlet.BinariesServlet

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, javax.servlet.Servlet, javax.servlet.ServletConfig

public class BinariesServlet
extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet

Serves binary files from the repository. Binary files are represented by nodes.

This servlet has the ability to set the "Content-Disposition" header in the HTTP response to tell browsers to download a binary file instead of trying to display the file directly. This needs some configuration, which is described below.

Content disposition configuration

To configure which mime types to enable content dispositioning for, set the "contentDispositionContentTypes" init param in the web.xml in which this servlet is defined. Example:

 <init-param>
     <param-name>contentDispositionContentTypes</param-name>
     <param-value>
         application/pdf,
         application/rtf,
         application/excel
     </param-value>
 </init-param>
 

In the above init param configuration, you can also set glob style configurations such as '*/*' or 'application/*'. Also, you can configure the JCR property to get the file name from. The file name is used to send along in the HTTP response for content dispositioning. To configure this, set the "contentDispositionFilenameProperty" init param in the web.xml in which this servlet is defined. Example:

 <init-param>
     <param-name>contentDispositionFilenameProperty</param-name>
     <param-value>demosite:filename</param-value>
 </init-param>
 

The contentDispositionFilenameProperty is being encoded. By default, we try to do this user-agent-agnostic. This is preferrable when using caching reverse proxies in front of your application. In user-agent-agnostic mode, we try to convert filenames consisting non ascii chars to their base form, in other words, replace diacritics. However for for example a language like Chinese this won't work. Then, you might want to opt for the user-agent-specific mode. You then have to take care of your reverse proxies taking care of the user-agent. They thus should take the user-agent into account. Also see #encodeContentDispositionFileName(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse, String). Changing the default user-agent-agnostic mode to user-agent-specific mode can be done by adding the init-param:

 <init-param>
     <param-name>contentDispositionFilenameEncoding</param-name>
     <param-value>user-agent-specific</param-value>
 </init-param>
 

You can also configure multiple JCR property names in the above init parameter by comma-separated value.
