Thanks for the response. I am setting the content type to "application/pdf". It also does not seem to matter if I include the x=dummy.pdf parameter or not. It still works the same. The first time it attempts the download, the next time works like a charm.

I'm trying to dynamically create a PDF from a struts web application. In my action bean I execute a JSP URL that returns the FOP xml. I take the return stream and place it into a reader and then pass it to renderFO method from the example servlet.This seems to work like I want it to. However, I'm running into an issue with IE. Whenever I input the URL for my action bean, the first time through I get the "File Download window". The file type is "Adobe Acrobat Control for ActiveX". If I cancel and then resubmit the very same URL, the PDF is displayed.I have read the FAQ and several messages about problems with IE but have not run across my exact problem. In them they say to include a dummy.pdf at the end of the URL. And to include a PDF extension as part of the base URL. I have done both but still have the issue.I have tried various URLs including:....IncidentPDFPath.do?incidentSID=123245&x=dummy.pdf....IncidentPDFPath.pdf?incidentSID=123245&x=dummy.pdfWith the same results.The funny thing is the second time I submit the URL from the browser it works. If I open a new browser and submit it I get the "File Download" window again the first time. The second time from the same browser the PDF is displayed.Thanks for any help.
