Spring: java.lang.IllegalStateException: getOutputStream() has already been called for this response

Question

Hi my first problem was that my application had to download a document (doc or pdf), searching on internet i found a solution and i adapted it to my code.

This is method in @Service where i retrieve blob from database

@Override
public boolean downloadCV(long idDocente, HttpServletResponse response) throws SQLException{
    Connection con = null;
    try{
        con = DBCon.establishConnection();
        String sql = "SELECT cv,content_type,filename FROM Docenti_pj where id_docente=? ";
        PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement(sql);
        ps.setLong( 1 , idDocente);
        ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();
            while( rs.next() ) {
                Blob blob = rs.getBlob("cv"); //prende il blob del curriculum
                String contentType = rs.getString("content_Type");
                String fileName = rs.getString("filename");
                if(blob!=null){
                    InputStream inputStream = blob.getBinaryStream();
                    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=\"" +fileName+ "\"");
                    OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
                    response.setContentType(contentType);
                    IOUtils.copy(inputStream, out);
                    out.flush();
                    out.close();
                    return true;
                }
                else
                    return false;
            }
    }
    catch(Exception e){
        System.out.println("errore");
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    finally{con.close();}
    return false;
}

This is method in my controller

    @RequestMapping(value="/docente_cv")
    public String downloadCurriculum(@RequestParam long idDocente, Model model, HttpServletResponse response){
    try{
        if(docenteService.downloadCV(idDocente,response))
            return "redirect:/docente_profilo?IdDocente="+idDocente+"&cvdownload=true";
        else
            return "redirect:/docente_profilo?IdDocente="+idDocente+"&cvdownload=false";

    }catch(Exception e){
        String message = "Eccezione --> "+e.getMessage();
        model.addAttribute("message", message);
        return "redirect:/listaDocenteTot";
    }
}

All is working fine, but i get in log this error everytime i download a document:

There is a better solution to work with document download in spring? I have saved in DB all file information. Or there is a better way to use this code to avoid this exception?

Answer 1

Solved it!

I just needed to change code in "@Controller"'s class so i do redirect only if document is not found or exception catched.

Answer 2

As Deinum said you can't downalod and redirect You may use this code:

@RequestMapping(method = { RequestMethod.GET }, value = { "/docente_cv" })
public ResponseEntity<InputStreamResource> downloadCsv(@PathVariable("idForm") String idForm)
{
    Connection con = null;
    String fileName = "";
    try
    {
        con = DBCon.establishConnection();
            String sql = "SELECT cv,content_type,filename FROM Docenti_pj where id_docente=? ";
            PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement(sql);
            ps.setLong( 1 , idDocente);
            ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();
            while( rs.next() ) 
        {
            Blob blob = rs.getBlob("cv"); //prende il blob del curriculum
                    String contentType = rs.getString("content_Type");
                    fileName = rs.getString("filename");
            if(blob!=null)
            {
                            InputStream inputStream = blob.getBinaryStream();
                response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=\"" +fileName+ "\"");
                HttpHeaders respHeaders = new HttpHeaders();
                MediaType mediaType = MediaType.parseMediaType(contentType)
                    respHeaders.setContentType(mediaType);
                    respHeaders.setContentLength(file.length());
                    respHeaders.setContentDispositionFormData("attachment", fileName);
                    InputStreamResource isr = new InputStreamResource(inputStream);
                    return new ResponseEntity<InputStreamResource>(isr, respHeaders, HttpStatus.OK);
            }
            else
            {
                return new ResponseEntity<InputStreamResource>(HttpStatus.NO_CONTENT);
            }
        }
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        String message = "Errore nel download del file "+fileName+"; "+e.getMessage();
        logger.error(message, e);
        return new ResponseEntity<InputStreamResource>(HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR);
    }
    finally
    {
      if(con != null)
        con.close();
    }
}

I hope it's useful
