I'm not clear on what you want to do. You can only send one response, so if you want to send two values in one response, you have to either:
Format the contents of the response in a way that can be parsed on the client to extract the multiple values. XML and JSON are common choices here.
Put one value in the content of the response and others in headers. Unless you have a value that fits a specific Header, I would avoid this option. But your case might be one of the specific use-cases with a well-known header field.
In your case, given the specific values you want, you might want to put the contents of the file into the content of the response and add Content-Disposition header to set the filename. (You should have a @Produces annotation on the service to indicate the MIME type of the response as well.)
