Need help with PDF File creation

[Jignesh Shah]

Hi,   I use the following code to generate my pdf in a servlet. There are two problems here: 1. I see the file in the directory but when I access it, it gives me Sharing Violation error. If I logout of my Form Based Authentication implemented (Servlet is in that system) system I am able to access the pdf correctly. Does anybody know how I can release the file once the file has been generated 2. After getting the FileOutputStream it starts writing to the file. At the same time it generates a “socket connection reset by peer exception”. I don’t know why this exception is generated. It might be with the popup window which closes down after passing the information to a servlet which in turn dispatches the below servlet to generate the pdf   Any help is appreciated   Thank you   Jignesh     public void renderXML(Document xmlsource, InputStream xslobj, String file_is)                throws ServletException {     FileOutputStream fout = null;   System.getProperty("file.separator");   String sep = System.getProperty("file.separator");     File dir = new File("c:" + sep + "Email PDF");   if(!dir.exists())   {     dir.mkdirs();   }   System.out.println("New File Dir is : " + dir);     File file = new File(dir,file_is);     try   {     fout = new FileOutputStream(file);   }   catch(IOException ioe)   {     ioe.printStackTrace();   }     try   {     Driver driver = new Driver();     driver.setLogger(log);     driver.setOutputStream(fout);     driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);     Transformer transformer=TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer(new StreamSource(xslobj));     transformer.transform(new JDOMSource(xmlsource), new SAXResult(driver.getContentHandler()));       fout.flush();       if (fout !=null)         fout.close();   }   catch (Exception ex)   {             ex.printStackTrace();   } }
