JSF File Download Chooser

Question

In any of the JSF libraries, is there any component which works just opposite to <t:inputFileUpload>, to select the folder (@ client machine) and download a predefined file from the server to client machine's selected folder?

It is the browser that shows the browse dialog whenever there's a file it cannot handle.

And files it can't handle are determined by the Content-type. So set your Content-Type, Content-Disposition and the likes headers for a specific resource, and add a link to that resource.

This answer has an example.
