I implemented an attachment upload/download handler using Spring MVC. Uploading was just a piece of cake because all I had to was wiring the multipart resolver into the configuration and have a bean injected to it. Spring documentation was all I needed.
However, downloading was more tricky. I have to get response's output stream, set mime type and write the byte arrays to it. I found out this great mime type list for 2007 office. Even after I set the mime types for the response, .docx was saying that the file was corrupt. Once I click "Yes" on the recovery, it comes back fine but I am not sure why it is getting corrupted as all the other attachments come back just perfect. If anyone has any insights on this issue, please let me know.
