Is your use case to write a custom CQ servlet or OSGi service that lets apps download DAM assets?  http://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/using/downloading-dam-assets.html

How about just using the AEM OOTB assetdownload.zip servlet

for example a post call like below

POST /content/dam.assetdownload.zip/abc.zip

with below parameters

path=%2Fcontent%2Fdam%2Fsample1.png

path=%2Fcontent%2Fdam%2Fsample2.png

path=%2Fcontent%2Fdam%2Fsample3.png

_charset_=utf-8

downloadAssets=true

licenseCheck=true

flatStructure=true

downloadRenditions=false

downloadSubassets=false
