Answer 1

In order to make JQuery knows the file download just ocurred, your response header must contains Set-Cookie: fileDownload=true; path=/.

In Java:

response.setHeader("Set-Cookie", "fileDownload=true; path=/");

Answer 2

Here is source code of jquery file download ..

$(function () {
    $(document).on("click", "a.fileDownloadCustomRichExperience", function () {

        var $preparingFileModal = $("#preparing-file-modal");

        $preparingFileModal.dialog({ modal: true });

        $.fileDownload($(this).attr('href'), {
            successCallback: function (url) {

                $preparingFileModal.dialog('close');
            },
            failCallback: function (responseHtml, url) {

                $preparingFileModal.dialog('close');
                $("#error-modal").dialog({ modal: true });
            }
        });
        return false; //this is critical to stop the click event which will trigger a normal file download!
    });
});

<div id="preparing-file-modal" title="Preparing report..." style="display: none;">
    We are preparing your report, please wait...

    <div class="ui-progressbar-value ui-corner-left ui-corner-right" style="width: 100%; height:22px; margin-top: 20px;"></div>
</div>

<div id="error-modal" title="Error" style="display: none;">
    There was a problem generating your report, please try again.
</div>

Answer 3

Some browsers also need you to reset response or your download will not work!

response.reset();

Answer 4

On sucess;

response.setHeader("Set-Cookie", "fileDownload=true; path=/");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate");

On error

response.setHeader("Set-Cookie", "fileDownload=false; path=/");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate");

Use "Cache-Control" only if will exists anothers requests.

            $('#ExportOptions').modal('hide');
            $.blockUI({ message: '<h1>Please wait generating excel data...</h1>' });

                    // $("div#loading").hide();
                    // alert('Error while generating excel file');
                    //response.setHeader("Set-Cookie", "fileDownload=false; path=/");
                    $.unblockUI();
