Re: Servlet to download a file returning errors

Hello All,

I wrote following servlet to download a file:
__________________________________________
package controller;

import javax.servlet.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.util.*;

class DownloadServ extends HttpServlet{

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

  response.setContentType("application/pdf");

   ServletContext ctx=getServletContext();
   InputStream is=ctx.getResourceAsStream("/
21stCenturyTiger_Christmas_wishes_2009.pdf");

  int read=0;
  byte[ ] bytes=new byte[1024];

  OutputStream os=response.getOutputStream();

  while((read=is.read(bytes)) != -1){
    os.write(bytes,0,read);
  }

  os.flush();
  os.close();
}
}
_________________________________________________________

But it is showing the following error in browser:

________________________________________________________
exception

javax.servlet.ServletException: Error instantiating servlet class
