Hi, I have a typical problem.My application is meant to view excel/pdf files as inline content of browser. If I view an Excel file through my application on a browser and then send request to view pdf file in different(or same) instance of browser. Even though the request is for pdf It opens the same excel file, which was downloaded at client side before. Although application has generated a pdf file only but the browser could not recognized it. This is the problem with IE only, Netscape works properly. I have read somewhere that IE has some problem with response.setHeader()..it ignores this. Is there something we need to do in the generator servlet in order to handle this problem? Here is a snippet of code I have written in my serlvet to get stream of output. //////////////////////// public class IntellicaController extends HttpServlet { ByteArrayOutputStream data; // containing data to write . . . . . . if(strFormat.equalsIgnoreCase("xls")) { res.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel"); res.setHeader("Content-Disposition","inline; filename=xlsFile.xls"); } else if(strFormat.equalsIgnoreCase("pdf")) { res.setContentType("application/pdf"); res.setHeader("Content-Disposition","inline; filename=pdfFile.pdf"); } out = new DataOutputStream(res.getOutputStream()); out.write(data.toByteArray()); out.flush(); . . . . . . } //////////////////////// Can anybody help me out..
