Unable to save a report in CSV format in web client

[hareendra]

Hi,

There seems to be an issue when saving a report of type csv when running on web client.
I initially save the report on the server machine as follows,

plugins.jasperPluginRMI.jasperReport(database_name,report_template,_localSavePath,_saveAsType,_params);

then i dowload it using,

application.showURL(_serverURL+_filename+"."+_saveAsType,"_self");

The issue is When I try to save as csv (_saveAsType = 'csv'), instead of getting the popup to save the file , it opens in a browser window displaying the report in csv. The browser window gets filled with csv context.

This only happens for csv types. For other types such as xls, the file gets downloaded properly

Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance

Regards,

i guess the browser sees it as a normal text file and just opens it in the browser.

in servoy 5.1 you can do plugins.file.writeTXTFile(file,text_data) that should open up a file save dialog.
