You can't do that using just client script, because there is no event for when the download completes.

Use struts2-jquery and give an Ajax call to getFile.action, same time u will have to use following tag-lib in order to make an Ajax call :

<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="sj" uri="/struts-jquery-tags"%>

Add following line insider your head tag, also the hidden image tag.
