I am about to do a similar thing Rendered JPEG images.
Sending back binary content should be
possible from Struts Action. In the action perfrom() you return `null'
to signify that you handling the response by yourself. Generating
custom response is the same, then, as a Java Servlet.
You have to set content type. For you it would be
response.setContentType("text/pdf") or whatever the MIME type is pdf is.
Then you have to get reference to the ServlketOutputStream
ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
Buffer it up and send your binary (PDF) stream down stream.
Dont forget to flush().
That should be it unless any body knows otherwise.

Hi,
I am trying to generate a PDF document on the fly based on dynamic html
generation comming from BroadVision.
I am using a tool called HTMLDOC that can use as input parameter a html file
or a URL.
If i used this tool directly from the command line,
htmldoc URL -f result.pdf
then, the pdf generation is fine, includig images.
But if i called this via an action, and i get the ouput of the tool and send
it to the response, the pdf result is not displayed if i used the image tag
in the HTML.
This is the java code for my action :
