Serve the file as a
FileResource
 or, more conveniently, as a
StreamResource
. Then use a
Link
 component to point to that resource,
as is done here

  2. The user press export button that generate the file

Then you should use a StreamResource to generate the file dynamically by the Vaadin application.
