Hi,
Does anyone know if you can read a file of say MS Word or Excel or any other
file for that matter such as a Acrobat .PDF file (either locally or from a
servlet), and then from the applet, direct the file to a browser which will
recognize the mime type and automatically start up MS Word (or whatever) and
display the document? This would be similar to when you click on a link in
the browser and cause the browser to start up an application. If I use this
method, I don't want to have to have the file be located on the server in
the web anywhere (I know how to do this). I want to actually serialize the
file from the servlet back to the applet or read it locally from the applet
and push to the browser.
If this can't be done by the applet, can you do it with a servlet by
directing the output back to the browser?
TIA,
Gary
