Spring boot : download csv file data with special character

Question

I have a button ,when I click it, I want to download a csv file. When my csv file has data, 'big apple.'. There is no problem generating it.

But when i have data like big , apple. with a comma, The file fails to get generated. How do i get my csv file generated with special characters?

window.location.href = '/coaGlCsv?coaId='+coaType+'';


@RequestMapping(value = "/coaGlCsv", method = RequestMethod.GET)
@ResponseBody 
public void getCsv(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response,
        @RequestParam("coaId") String coaId)  {
        System.out.println("Generate excel"); 
        response.setContentType("text/csv");
        response.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
        response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment;filename=" + reportName);
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
        out.println("date","name");
        out.println("12-07-2019","big apple.");
}

Answer 1

What do you mean

file fails to get generated

Can you download file from the server? Does server throw an exception? If so - provide it in your question.

Double quotes can solve your problem with data with a comma. Take a look at csv format Use "big , apple"
