I want to invoke my jsp page from my index.html.This is html code. 

 <html>
            <head>
                <title></title>
                <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
            </head>
            <form action="DownloadFile.jsp">
                <body>
                     <div>Click here Download File from Server...</div>
                     <input type="submit" name="downloadButton" value="Download..." />
                </body>
            </form>
    </html>

JSP PAGE:

    <%

                    String filename = "Sample1.zip"; 
                    String filepath = "e:\\temp\\"; 
                    response.setContentType("APPLICATION/OCTET-STREAM"); 
                    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=\"" + filename + "\""); 

                    java.io.FileInputStream fileInputStream = new java.io.FileInputStream(filepath + filename);

                    int i; 
                    while ((i=fileInputStream.read()) != -1) {
                    out.write(i); 
                    } 
                    fileInputStream.close();
            %>

But When i pressing Download Button, it just shows the jsp file content as html.it does not start downloading the file anyway. What is the problem here...

and also i cann't download .docx and .jpg files correctly.It says file may be corrupted...

Please Guide me to get out of this both issues...

Is there a common way to download all types of files in jsp?

Your server either does not support JSP or is not configured for it.

You need a JSP capable server.

Have you configured the Servlet engine with you webserver and done the setup for forwarding request for jsp files to server engine.

Actually, you do not need jsp to download you content . Instead, if you want to download from the client end, you can use html5

 <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<p>Click on the below hyperlink to download the any such file:<p>

<a href="5.csv" download>
test
</a>
