For one thing it looks like you are mixing PDF and HTML content in your
response:
ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
try {
out.println("<HTML>\n");
out.println("<HEAD>\n");
out.println("<BODY>\n");
out.println("<CENTER><H1>FOP and PDF
Creation.</H1></CENTER>\n");
renderFO(response);
out.println("</BODY>\n");
out.println("</HTML>\n");
}
and
byte[] content = outPDF.toByteArray();
response.setContentLength(content.length);
response.getOutputStream().write(content);
response.getOutputStream().println("<BR><BR>");
response.getOutputStream().println("There should be a PDF
image above");
response.flushBuffer();
response.getOutputStream().flush();
For some reason, Netscape doesn't mind this. But IE seems to create an
Http error that's related to the discrepancy in the content length of
the response. (At least with Weblogic). I removed all your
out.println("..") calls and the code works.
Also I have noticed a weird bug where IE sometimes doesn't recognize
PDF, even though you set the response type to "application/pdf". I was
using the FopServlet example from .20.1. It worked fine if used
Netscape. The weird thing is if I clicked back, then forward in IE, it
recognized the PDF and loaded the plugin. I think I solved the problem
by mapping the servlet URI to FopServletTest.pdf and sending the FO
filename as a POST form instead of a GET.
Hope this helps,
