- SpringMVCController.java:
package com.javahonk.controller;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Iterator;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
@Controller
public class SpringMVCController {
@RequestMapping(value = "/downloadXML")
public void downloadXML(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException {
response.setContentType("text/xml");
String reportName = "JavaHonk_XML_Report_.xml";
response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment;filename="+ reportName);
ArrayList<String> rows = new ArrayList<String>();
rows.add("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>");

for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
rows.add("<Person" + (i + 1) + ">");
rows.add("<FirstName>");

rows.add("<Test>");
rows.add("Success");
rows.add("</Test>");
rows.add("</Person" + (i + 1) + ">");
}
rows.add("</Details>");
Iterator<String> iter = rows.iterator();
while (iter.hasNext()) {
String outputString = (String) iter.next();
response.getOutputStream().print(outputString);
}
response.getOutputStream().flush();
}
}
