Hi Cyril, we had a similar problem, the solution
is simple: just put a dummy parameter at the end, like
http://www.somewhere.com/myjsp.jsp&dummy=my.pdf
This will cause IE 5.0 to display the pdf in the
browser.

It has been reported many times that IE5.0 needs some strong
mime type information : not only you must set the content-type
HTTP header to "application/pdf" but you also have to use an url with ".pdf"
at the end... Cyril RognonAt 14:05 07/12/2001 +0100, you

RE: Problems with seeing pdf-files in IE 5.0
Thank you very much for the example. But I receive an TransformerException in this line DOMResult foDomResult = new DOMResult(); transformer.transform(xml, foDomResult); foDoc = (Document)foDomResult.getNode(); Do you have any idea why it is? Thank you very much, again.

RE: Problems with seeing pdf-files in IE 5.0 | Specification of folder for XML/XSL files under Cocoon 2
Yes, that syntax works definitively and was used by us as long as we utilized FOP under Cocoon 1. Cocoon 2 does not present this url problem any more. It presents another one, though: XML files cannot be specified to lie in _any_ folder (Windows version of Tomcat/Cocoon), they must be placed in a specific location deep down in the file system, under "Tomcat\webapps\cocoon..." (at least, this is our sys admin's statement). We find this a slightly cumbersome solution. Has anybody made a contrasting (=better) experience?

Sorry, I jumped into the middle of that thread and hadn't noticed the
piece about IE 5.0 requiring the specific extension.
Any possibility your user community will upgrade their browser for
this (and other) considerations?

You are correct, we set the content type to PDF before sending anything
back. The problem is how to invoke this servlet and use a .PDF extension
when we don't know we are going to get a PDF back.

Here is the real problem. When the servlet is posted to, the browser has
no
knowledge of what type of data will be sent back. We have a single servlet
which looks at the request and calls the appropriate class to process the
request. The request then sends XML back to the servlet. Then based upon
the presence of the parameter "print" in the http request, our servlet
attempts to locate the XSL:FO file that maps to the request. If the XSL:FO
file is found, we FOP the XML and send back PDF. Otherwise we use a
XSL:HTML file and send back a HTML page. Our clients are responsible for
providing XSL:FO files for the pages they want PDF prints. The XSL:FO
files
are optional and may or may not exist.

If you can't set up an alias in the webserver as people have suggested you
could
always have a servlet class called "pdf" within a package "myservlet".

That's the trick if you have to use .pdf ended url, use the query string like Jamestold you to. This is a particular IE5.0 pb, and some times it does not appear, the response content type may be enough.

RE: Problems with seeing pdf-files in IE 5.0
You should be able to create a directory to servlet mapping in your web server (usually in the web.xml file). Something like: MyServlet /MyServletDir MyServlet MyPdfGeneratingServlet Then the browser can call www.myserver.com/MyServletDir/filename.pdf Your servlet can retrieve the filename requested from the HttpServletRequest (or just ignore it) and output it's response to the HttpServletResponse --- Paul Smith > Jim Urban wrote: > > So how do you use a url that ends with .pdf when using servlets? *** DISCLAIMER: The information contained in this email is confidential and is intended solely for the use of the named addressee.

All my urls are .jsp and I don't have a problem with IE 4-5-6 recognizing them as PDF--as long as I set the response contentType.

Re: Problems with seeing pdf-files in IE 5.0
It has been reported many times that IE5.0 needs some strong mime type information : not only you must set the content-type HTTP header to "application/pdf" but you also have to use an url with ".pdf" at the end...

But if I try to see it with an IE 5.0, I see just a blank page with an icon. If I try it with an IE 5.5, I can see it with no problem. Why is it?

Problems with seeing pdf-files in IE 5.0
I'm trying to see a pdf-report, created dinamically with an XML-XSL process. But if I try to see it with an IE 5.0, I see just a blank page with an icon. If I try it with an IE 5.5, I can see it with no problem. Why is it? And there is a solution, because I cannot change the browser to 5.5? thx Raul Carazo
