Hi, The option 2 is what i am looking at. The API for generating the PDF writes to the servlet outputstream directly. So for the time being forget PDF, say, I need to capture the output of any servlet, say a html content, and store that to a db or file, how do I do that? Thanks for the response. Rajesh

This output should be stored into a database table for future retrieval. Can somebody tell me how this output of the Servlet can be captured and stored into a database table? Or rather, how to capture the response outputstream, convert it to bytes so that it can be persisted in the datbase. Please note that we are not allowed to write to a File and then upload it.
