I just went through the help link on file download UI:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/59/b2af840e67514f8e8973d97d494c9b/frameset.htm

They have a list of file types in which ".zip" and ".exe" do not appear. However there is a filetype Unknown for files with extension "" (blank).

It could be the reason that .zip and .exe files are not identified type of files (hence considered of type 'unknown') to be saved or opened in new window using the filedownload UI... its a guess, I am not very sure why its being saved as unkown type. But if you find it out, do share by means of this thread..

Hi,

If you are trying with IWDResource Class , then you can try with this piece of code to download.

In this example I have used CSV , instead you can try with any other types as mentioned.

FileInputStream fis=new FileInputStream(F);

IWDResource res=WDResourceFactory.createCachedResource(fis,"File_Name",WDWebResourceType.getWebResourceType("CSV","CSV"),true);//correct

fis.close();

fos.flush();

res.download();

Thanks and Regards,

Tony Isaac.

Hi Tony Isaac,

One question:

I use NWDS Version: 7.01.05 and I tried to use your code in webdynpro java but method download() for object res doesn't exist.. is deprecated?

thank you!
