HTTP 405 Resource not allowed

[Rahul Shivsharan]

here i'm trying to send data mostly .doc or .pdf from Struts Action to Browser.

from href a url is called for an Struts action , follows Struts-config.xml

<action name="UploadForm"
        path="/openFile" 
        type="eis.sebi.fms.Action.AttachedFileViewAction" 
        input="workflow.errorPage">
         <forward name="success" path="/servlet/fileReader"/>
         <forward name="invalidLogin" path="/servlet/portalLoginPage"/>
    </action>

the action 'AttachedFileViewAction.java' is as follows

package eis.sebi.fms.Action;
import eis.sebi.fms.app.persistence.dao.FMSDAO;
import eis.sebi.fms.web.delegate.FMSDelegate;

import org.apache.struts.util.LabelValueBean;

public class AttachedFileViewAction extends DispatchAction
{
  public AttachedFileViewAction()
  {
  }
  
  public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, 
                                 ActionForm form, 
                                 HttpServletRequest request, 
                                 HttpServletResponse response) 
    throws IOException, ServletException, CreateException, SQLException, NamingException, RemoteException,Exception
    {
        System.out.println("Entering in execute() : AttachedFileViewAction");
        String fileName = null;
        String docType = null;
        String strForward = null;
        Blob fileData = null;        
        InputStream inputData = null;
        String docId = request.getParameter("docId");
        Map docDetails = null;
        
        FMSDAO fmsDelegate = new FMSDAO();
        docDetails = (HashMap)fmsDelegate.getDocDataBasedOnDocId(docId);
        fileName = (String)docDetails.get("fileName");
        docType = (String)docDetails.get("content_type");
        fileData = (Blob)docDetails.get("docData");
        
        inputData = fileData.getBinaryStream();
                
        System.out.println("1 = " + fileName);
        System.out.println("2 = " + inputData);
        System.out.println("3 = " + docType);
        
        request.setAttribute("fileName",fileName);
        request.setAttribute("fileData",inputData);
        request.setAttribute("docContenttype",docType);
        
        strForward = "success";
        return mapping.findForward(strForward);
    }
}

from there the call goes to servlet 'FileReader.java' which is as follows,

public class FileReader extends HttpServlet

    public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
    {
      super.init(config);
    }
    
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
    {
      this.doPost(request,response);
     
    }
    
     public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, 

IOException
     {
          //request.setAttribute("docData",request.getParameter("docData"));
//        HashMap fileDetails = (HashMap) request.getAttribute("FILE_DETAILS");
        String fileName = (String)request.getAttribute("fileName");
        String docContentType = (String) request.getAttribute("docContenttype");
//        String docId = (String)request.getAttribute("docId");
//        System.out.println("Inside DoGet method");
//        System.out.println("fileName = "+fileName+"  docContentType="+docContentType+"  docId="+docId);
        
        //FMSDAO fmsDelegate = new FMSDAO();

        InputStream fileData = (InputStream)request.getAttribute("fileData");
        System.out.println("fileData = "+fileData);
        //String filePath = ApplicationConstantsCommon.UPLOADED_FILE_PATH + fileName;
        ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
        System.out.println(" *** File Name *** " + fileName);
        response.setContentType(docContentType);
        response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + fileName);
        InputStream in = null;
                           
        BufferedInputStream  bis = null;
        BufferedOutputStream bos = null;
        try {
             
              bis = new BufferedInputStream(fileData);
              bos = new BufferedOutputStream(out);
      
              int byteRead;
      
              // Simple read/write loop.
              while((byteRead = bis.read()) != -1) {
                  bos.write(byteRead);
              }
              bos.flush(); 
        } 
        catch(Exception e) {
            System.out.println ( "IOException."+e.getMessage() );
        }             
        finally 
        {
            if (in != null)
            {
                in.close();
                out.close();
               // (new File(filePath)).delete();
            }
            
        }
     }
}

My problem is, on my local machine it is working fine , but on production server , on the click of the link opens a browser with the message on header of browser 'HTTP 405 Resource Not Allowed'

what should be the problem , can any body tell me please

[Bear Bibeault]

Please be sure to ask Struts questions in the Struts forum. I have moved this post there for you.

[Rahul Shivsharan]

I'm extremely sorry for asking this question which is already answered number of times on this forum,
actually it is already specified in this website that first try to search for the queries which we want to
ask, which i didn't did and directly fired the question on HTTP 405 error .

I got the solution of the problem i was facing , i got the answer by searching through the forum in Servlet
section.

The problem was that i didn't specified the path properly in the Struts-config.xml in the forward tag which calls the
servlet.

Anyway i solved the problem, i'm exteremely sorry i wasted your precious time.
