Title: SV: Including Actions via jsp:include

hi,

your typical flow is something like,

u click on a link which invokes a new window which inturn invokes some action class, which fetches the file may be from a file system or BLOB field of database, and then u dont forward it anywhere... !!!

and ur last part of action class will look like this...

 

 response.setContentType("application/pdf");
 javax.servlet.ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
 out.write(data);    // where data is byte[] containing ur filedata
 out.flush();
 out.close();
 return null;

 

i hope it helps..

Hi,

   I have one jsp which shows some links.. This link contains the filename (HTML file).

If i click on this link, i will execute one more jsp. This jsp has some methods which will get the file and show the content.

 

This works fine if i have only html files to be shown..  If i have other document types (like pdf, doc, xls etc), how can i show these things on the browser thro my second JSP....

 

Thanx in Advance

Regards

Anwar
