Re: Print Report

[Ted Neward]

Ouch; been there, done that, not using Servlets but NetDynamics' 3.x system (which was very conceptually similar to the Servlet concept). Experience: BAD. There's really no way you can generate output directly to a printer, for security reasons (think what could happen if you hit a rogue website--they could spew all KINDS of stuff to your printer, and unless you're sitting right next to it, you may never even realize it!). Best results: Use an applet to receive the data and send it to the printer, assuming it's signed and accepted.   In general, though, I had nothing but bad experiences all around trying to make this work.   Ted Neward Patterns/C++/Java/CORBA/EJB/COM-DCOM spoken here http://www.javageeks.com/~tneward  "I don't even speak for myself; my wife won't let me." --Me -----Original Message----- From: Kenia Nimesh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Monday, July 05, 1999 11:25 PM Subject: Print Report Thru my servlets , I am generating a report by accessing the database.
