I'm using the following code from the book "Head first Servlets & JSP"

 protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) 

   throws ServletException, IOException {

        resp.setContentType("application/pdf");

        ServletContext ctx = getServletContext();

        InputStream is = ctx.getResourceAsStream("/download.pdf");


        int read=0;

        byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];


        OutputStream os = resp.getOutputStream();

        while((read = is.read(bytes)) != -1){

            os.write(bytes, 0, read);

        }

    }

I've got 2 questions here:

• Why 1024, 10 bits seems like an odd number
  
• Why does my file download with a filename "download.do.pdf". How do I change this?

Okay for question 2. 'download.do' is the name of the .java file i'm accessing. And it appearantly just adds .pdf to it and sends that as filename -.-
