struts2下载文件时出现：java.lang.ClassCastException: java.io.ByteArrayInputStream cannot be cast to 错误

* 在学习Struts2下载文件的时候出现了java.lang.ClassCastException: java.io.ByteArrayInputStream cannot be cast to java.lang.String 的问题。后来阅读了一些博客解决了这个问题，顺便在这里总结一下Struts2文件下载。*

可能高手一看就知道问题出在哪里了，可是我们这些菜鸟就容易犯这样的错误。问题就出在不应该给action指定method属性，因为action配置上method属性后，struts2默认会把 ByteArrayInputStream强制转成String类型。那要在哪里配置哪个方法来执行下载操作，返回下载文件流。其实<param name="inputName">targetFile</param> 就已经指定了DownAction中的getTargetFile()返回下载文件流。所以我们只要去掉action的method属性，然后添加<param name="inputName">***</param>,同时在DownloadAction中添加InputStream get***（）{/*code*/}即可

好了，下面顺便总结一下Struts2文件下配置的各个param的含义
