Download file from Server in OA Framework

To download a file from server location.

In controller class call downloadFileFromServer method on any event.

//on button click in process form request
//call this method
            downloadFileFromServer(
                        pageContext,--pagecontext
                        "/xx/xxx/ssss/120devg.pdf",--full file path with file name and ext
                        "120devg.pdf" --file name with extension
            );


After process form request copy below methods in controller class,

/**
* @param pageContext the current OA page context
* @param file_name_with_path - this is fully qualified file name with its path on unix application
* server. eg "/xxcrp/xxapplcrp/mukul/abc.pdf"
* @param file_name_with_ext - this is file name with extension, you wanna display user
* for download. eg- i wanna display the abc.pdf file download with name five_point_someone.pdf
* then I can pass this as "five_point_someone.pdf"
