How to download file from server using jQuery AJAX and Spring MVC 3

Question

I want to implement downloading (with AJAX) of uploaded file from server. On the server side I wrote the code

@RequestMapping(value = \"/getInvoice/approvalI         


        

Answer 1

Maybe a better strategy would be to use jQuery to build a new link on the page that'll reference this same URL, and insert this new element at a appropriate place in the DOM. That being done, maybe jQuery can even then click it for the user, initiating the download.
