something with the outputstream part.
You pass a Response object to this method.
In the method, you create a ByteArrayOutputStream,
but the method doesn't return anything,
nor do I see you writing the baosPDF to the Response.
public void getPDFResult(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response)
throws javax.servlet.ServletException, java.io.IOException {
Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4.rotate(),10,10,10,10);
ByteArrayOutputStream baosPDF = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
PdfWriter docWriter = null;
try {
PDFShapes pdfShape = new PDFShapes();
docWriter = PdfWriter.getInstance(doc, baosPDF);
doc.setPageSize(PageSize.A1);
doc.open();
PdfContentByte cb = docWriter.getDirectContent();
// pdfShape.rectangle calls a method in the next class that will output
// the result
pdfShape.rectangle(5,6,10,8,cb);
}
In other words: the PDF is mad in memory (baosPDF),
but it's not a valid PDF because doc.close() is missing.
Once out of scope, the garbage collector will clean up baosPDF
and all the PDF written to memory so far will be lost.
