I would like to be able to display/stream the PDF file in the browser and use the <bean:write> tag in the JSP to acomplish that. Say I have a form bean that has a byte array field, and I want the jsp to specify the contentType as "application/pdf" and just have the bean:write tag, such as:
<bean:write name="mybean" property="pdfcontent"/> Is this possible to achieve? Are there any hacks/tricks to make it work in a JSP when the form bean has the binary content field? When I do it with with the byte array attribute, it just displays the address of the array in memory (possibly calls toString()). If I make the field of type String and convert the byte array to String in the controller as follows: str = new String(byteArray), it does not get converted correctly and the browser hangs. I know the best way to do it is to have a servlet. But I need to do it in a JSP because of certain limitations of my application. Please help. Thanks.
