IllegalStateException after canceling file downloading.

Hi All,

I am providing a file download option to the user in my web-application. Suppose user selects cancel the downloads, I am getting IllegalStateException. I am using tomcat and spring MVC. Kindly let me know how to handle this exception.

here is my code which downloads the file:

It looks like you handled it. If you wanted to do something else, you could also do it in the 'catch' block.

I don't want that the exception thrown should display on the tomcat console. But it is showing.

That's because your logger may have configured to do so.

The IllegalStateException could be because you are trying to close (close(output); ) the resource(resource.close();).

I believe the response is committed and you are trying to close.

I agree with Vijitha Kumara: if you don't want it logged, then don't log it.

Thanks to all of you, my mistake I was trying to open the response output stream again in some other method
