package bacit.web.bacit_web;
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.sql.*;
@WebServlet(name = "BookingHistorikk", value = "/BookingHistorikk")
public class GetBookingHistorikk extends HttpServlet
{
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws IOException, ServletException
{
PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
res.setContentType("text/html");
out.println("<html><body>");
try
{
Class.forName("org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mariadb:**********", "root", "pass");
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select * from BOOKING");
out.println("<table style=text-align:center border=1 width=50% height=10% >");
out.println("<tr><th>Start Dato</th><th>Slutt Dato</th><th>Kommentar</th><th>Levert</th><th>Total Pris</th></tr>");
while (rs.next())
{
Date startDate = rs.getDate("StartDate");
Date endDate = rs.getDate("EndDate");
String cmnt = rs.getString("Cmnt");
Boolean isDelivered = rs.getBoolean("IsDelivered");
int totalPrice = rs.getInt("TotalPrice");
out.println("<tr><td>" startDate "</td><td>" endDate "</td><td>" cmnt "</td><td>" isDelivered "</td><td>" totalPrice "</td></tr>");

out.println("</table>");

con.close();

CodePudding user response:
There are 2 things you need to do here ...
- Create CSV file.
- Send it to the user with the help of
HttpServletResponse
.
You can create a CSV file contents like this:
String getMyCsvFileAsString() {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append("id");
sb.append(',');
sb.append("Name");
sb.append('\n');
sb.append("1");
sb.append(',');
sb.append("Prashant Ghimire");
sb.append('\n');
writer.write(sb.toString());
}
And then you can attach it to the request like this:
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
{
response.setContentType("text/csv");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"myCsvFile.csv\"");
try
{
OutputStream outputStream = response.getOutputStream();
// Get CSV file as string
String outputResult = getMyCsvFileAsString();
outputStream.write(outputResult.getBytes());
outputStream.flush();
outputStream.close();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println(e.toString());
}
}
