Asunto: Problem sending a pdf file from servlet


Hi
I've seen a few similar questions on this mailing list but no answers yet.

I'm invoking a servlet through the showDocument() method in my Applet.
The doGet() method of the servlet generates a pdf file and writes it to the
OutputStream.

- In the Visual Age Websphere test environment, the file loads correctly in
my browser, although often the doGet method is invoked twice (and the file
is sent to the browser only after the second invocation).
- Using Webshpere 3.5.5, the servlet completes its execution and then I get
the 'File Download' dialog.  Clicking on either 'Save As...' or 'Open' I
get a download error of site unavailable.

I've tried using both "Content-disposition","inline"
and "Content-disposition","attachment; file=xxx.pdf"

I'm using response.setContentType("application/pdf"), setting the content
length and flushing the outputstream.
I'm testing this with Internet Explorer 5.5

Any help much appreciated.

Ken Barron
