I have a servlet that generates multiple reports that I would like to
have delivered to the browser but I can't seem to get all of them to
"appear". Only the first report I create displays. So the question is,
what am I doing wrong?
It is a payroll posting routine, so I generate reports that indicate
what has and hasn't posted in multiple reports.
Pseudo code is as follows:
Create successful post Document
PdfWriter.getInstance(successListing, response.getOutputStream());
initialize first row of datatable as column heading
Create error post Document
PdfWriter.getInstance(errorListing, response.getOutputStream());
initialize first row of datatable as column heading
Run posting routines
Write successes to the success datatable
Write errors to the errors datatable
Output the documents
if there are errors write them to the datatable
if there are successes, write them to the datatable
Both output routines use the following (two separate methods):
response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=" +
fileName);
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
Listing.open();
Listing.add(Datatable);
Listing.close();
But I only get one report even though two datatables have been populated.
I have a couple of ideas:
Use only ONE document (a generic "posting" document) by creating a
single PDFWriter object. The question is: Can I then open the writer
and add each datatable to the writer (could be multiple, different
datatables). Will they have correct headings, columns and page breaks
even though they have different formats? I *think* that is the solution
but I want to bounce this by you folks before I change the existing
servlet structure.
Thanks
Pete
