Here is small piece of java code to generate binary stream which tells browser to save file as attachment. I believe that this code will help java beginners to understand HttpServletResponse of the Servlets.

package com.gaurangjadia.code.controllers;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStream;

import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

public class Download extends HttpServlet {

	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    public Download() {
        super();
    }

	public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {

	}

	protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {

		try{
			String fileName = request.getParameter("name");
			String path = request.getSession().getServletContext().getRealPath("/WEB-INF/upload/");
			
			//strFileName: Name of the file which is being downloaded and which exist under /WEB-INF/upload/ path
			if(fileName.equals("strFileName")){
				path += "/" + fileName;

				File file = new File(path);
				Integer intFileLength = (int)(file.length() / 1024) + 1;

				response.setContentType(new MimetypesFileTypeMap().getContentType(file));
				response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + fileName);

				FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(path);
				OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();

				byte buf[] = new byte[intFileLength];
				int bytesRead = 0;

				while( (bytesRead = in.read(buf)) &gt; 0 ){
					out.write(buf, 0, bytesRead);
				}
				out.close();
				in.close();
			}
			else{
				request.getRequestDispatcher("/WEB-INF/download.jsp").forward(request, response);
			}
		}
		catch(Exception ex){
			request.getRequestDispatcher("/WEB-INF/download.jsp").forward(request, response);
		}
	}

	protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
		doGet(request, response);
	}

}

I was trying to find some example to connect MySQL database with my Java Shared Hosting Plan on GoDaddy.com but I could not. Well, I don’t want to say that GoDaddy has the best plan for hosting Java application. I still can not figure out how to use JSTL, custom url-pattens in the web.xml and forward requests from a servlet to JSP page. Also, we have to put http://<domain_name>/servlet/<servlet_name> to access servlet. But, here is simple working example to show you database connection from hosting to MySQL server on GoDaddy Shared Hosting.

Take a look at the example at link : GoDaddyJavaMySQL

	public DBConnector(String hostname, int port, String db, String username, String password){
		this.setHost(hostname);
		this.setPort(port);
		this.setDatabasename(db);
		this.setUsername(username);
		this.setPassword(password);
		
		this.setConnectionstring("jdbc:mysql://" + getHost() + ":" + getPort() + "/" + getDatabasename());
	}

	public Connection connect() throws Exception{
		Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");

		Connection objConnection = DriverManager.getConnection(this.getConnectionstring(), this.getUsername(), this.getPassword());
		return objConnection;
	}
