I recently worked on module, in which i implemented the functionality of downloading the CSV files, I need to know the best practices which will improve this to the next level.



@RequestMapping(value = "/export_data")
public void downloadDataInCsv(
@RequestParam("type") String type,
@RequestParam("tID") String tableId,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException {
if (type.equals("csv")) {
List<UserInfo> list = userInfoDao.findById(tableId);
ExportCsvUtil.downloadCsv(request, response, list);
}
}
private void downloadCsv(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, List<UserInfo> list) throws IOException {
String headerKey = "Content-Disposition";
String headerValue = String.format("attachment; filename=Table_Data.csv");
response.setContentType("text/csv");
response.setHeader(headerKey, headerValue);

try (final CSVWriter writer = new CSVWriter(response.getWriter(), ",")) {

writer.writeNext(new String{"User Id", "First Name", "Last Name", "Roll No", "Email ID", "Gender"});

for (UserInfo entry: list) {
// cast/convert to String where needed
writer.writeNext(new String{entry.getUserId()+"", entry.getFirstName(), entry.getLastName(),entry.getRollNo(),entry.getEmail(),entry.getGender()});
}
writer.close();
}
}


I am using OpenCSV library for reading and writing the CSV files, in addition, one thing should be note down here is, the function writeAll() and write() accepts String .



I initialized the String inside writeNext() , I want to know the better way to do the same, so the readability enhanced.



Please review my code and suggest me the best practice.
