In servlet I can write 

  response.getOutputStream().write(bytes);

So that the file is available to download by user.

But how would I go about it where I'm generating a file in side a applet ?

It is possible if user give a path to save then i can do 

OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(pathtoSave);

But I don't want to prompt user for a path.

Any help regarding this ?

But I don't want to prompt user for a path.

Put it in a sub-directory of user.home1. Then after it is saved I strongly advise to display it to the user, using the Desktop2 API (so they can know where it is).
