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);
}

我能很快想到的是，生成pdf并将其存储在webapp/downloads/< RANDOM-FILENAME>.pdf代码中，并使用HttpServletRequest发送一个转发到这个文件

request.getRequestDispatcher("/downloads/<RANDOM-FILENAME>.pdf").forward(request, response);

或者你可以这样配置你的视图解析器，

  <bean id="pdfViewResolver"
        class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
    <property name="viewClass"
              value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView" />
    <property name="order" value=”2″/>
    <property name="prefix" value="/downloads/" />
    <property name="suffix" value=".pdf" />
  </bean>

然后返回

return "RANDOM-FILENAME";

@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");

在我的情况下，我需要生成一些文件，所以url也必须生成。

对我来说是这样的:

@RequestMapping(value = "/files/{filename:.+}", method = RequestMethod.GET, produces = "text/csv")
@ResponseBody
public FileSystemResource getFile(@PathVariable String filename) {
    String path = dataProvider.getFullPath(filename);
    return new FileSystemResource(new File(path));
}

非常重要的是，mime类型在produces中，文件名也是链接的一部分所以你必须使用@PathVariable。

HTML代码是这样的:

<a th:href="@{|/dbreport/files/${file_name}|}">Download</a>

其中${file_name}是由thymleaf在控制器中生成的，即:result_20200225.csv，因此链接的整个url是:example.com/aplication/dbreport/files/result_20200225.csv。

点击链接后，浏览器问我如何处理文件-保存或打开。

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。

如下图所示

@RequestMapping(value = "/download", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public void getFile(HttpServletResponse response) {
    try {
        DefaultResourceLoader loader = new DefaultResourceLoader();
        InputStream is = loader.getResource("classpath:META-INF/resources/Accepted.pdf").getInputStream();
        IOUtils.copy(is, response.getOutputStream());
        response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=Accepted.pdf");
        response.flushBuffer();
    } catch (IOException ex) {
        throw new RuntimeException("IOError writing file to output stream");
    }
}
