@RequestMapping(value = "/files/{file_name}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public void getFile(
    @PathVariable("file_name") String fileName, 
    HttpServletResponse response) {
    try {
      // get your file as InputStream
      InputStream is = ...;
      // copy it to response's OutputStream
      org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils.copy(is, response.getOutputStream());
      response.flushBuffer();
    } catch (IOException ex) {
      log.info("Error writing file to output stream. Filename was '{}'", fileName, ex);
      throw new RuntimeException("IOError writing file to output stream");
    }

}

一般来说，当你有response.getOutputStream()时，你可以在那里写任何东西。您可以将此输出流作为将生成的PDF放置到生成器的位置。另外，如果你知道你要发送什么文件类型，你可以设置

response.setContentType("application/pdf");

我必须加上这个才能下载任何文件

    response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition",
            "attachment;filename="+"file.txt");

所有的代码:

@Controller
public class FileController {

@RequestMapping(value = "/file", method =RequestMethod.GET)
@ResponseBody
public FileSystemResource getFile(HttpServletResponse response) {

    final File file = new File("file.txt");
    response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition",
            "attachment;filename="+"file.txt");
    return new FileSystemResource(file);
 }
}

您应该能够直接在响应上写入文件。类似的

response.setContentType("application/pdf");      
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"somefile.pdf\""); 

然后在response.getOutputStream()上将该文件写入二进制流。记得在最后执行response.flush()，这样就可以了。

下面的代码为我生成和下载一个文本文件工作。

@RequestMapping(value = "/download", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ResponseEntity<byte[]> getDownloadData() throws Exception {

    String regData = "Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.";
    byte[] output = regData.getBytes();

    HttpHeaders responseHeaders = new HttpHeaders();
    responseHeaders.set("charset", "utf-8");
    responseHeaders.setContentType(MediaType.valueOf("text/html"));
    responseHeaders.setContentLength(output.length);
    responseHeaders.set("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=filename.txt");

    return new ResponseEntity<byte[]>(output, responseHeaders, HttpStatus.OK);
}

这段代码可以在jsp上单击链接时自动从spring控制器下载文件。

@RequestMapping(value="/downloadLogFile")
public void getLogFile(HttpSession session,HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
    try {
        String filePathToBeServed = //complete file name with path;
        File fileToDownload = new File(filePathToBeServed);
        InputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(fileToDownload);
        response.setContentType("application/force-download");
        response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename="+fileName+".txt"); 
        IOUtils.copy(inputStream, response.getOutputStream());
        response.flushBuffer();
        inputStream.close();
    } catch (Exception e){
        LOGGER.debug("Request could not be completed at this moment. Please try again.");
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}

如果这对谁有帮助的话。你可以按照Infeligo给出的答案去做，但只需要在强制下载的代码中添加额外的内容即可。

response.setContentType("application/force-download");
