Here is what worked for me. The PDF is created dynamically.
1. a small bit of code which used FOP and served it as a stream. Be sure to
set the response type.
byte[] fo;
.
.
.
InputSource fopInput = new InputSource( new ByteArrayInputStream( fo )
);
ByteArrayOutputStream outStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
Driver driver = new Driver( fopInput, outStream );
driver.setLogger(log);
driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
driver.run();
output = outStream.toByteArray();
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
response.resetBuffer();
response.setContentLength(output.length);
ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
os.write(output);
os.close();
2. Also added to the URL at the end was the following:
&pdf=.pdf\
Can't remember where I found this idea, nor can I find it at this minute,
but it made it work.
hth,
Dave

Just so I understand, file.jpg is hosted fine back to a browser. File.pdf,
in the same location, is not hosted back to the browser find. Is that what
you are experiencing? Sounds like tomcat is configured to "execute" pdf
documents as opposed to hosting them. Much like you would configure a web
server to execute streaming video as opposed to just hosting a video to be
downloaded. I do not know where this configuration is done in Tomcat, but
that is where I would start.
