Thanks for your help Frank, Davlid, Shayam, Unfortunatly, non of the solutions worked.
I renamed my reset method in the form bean and am calling it manually at the end of the action - this stops the booleans from being reset when IE resubmits the request. Dodgy but it works. Also, there was a bit of code on java.sun.com forum which helps to stop the action from processing all the business logic 3 times, but execute method is still called 3 times: //work-around for IE streaming pdf bug //http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q293792 String accLang = request.getHeader("accept-language"); String theAgent = request.getHeader("user-agent"); //the user-agent is set to contype only for the first request if (request.getHeader("user-agent").equals("contype")) { response.setContentType("application/pdf"); response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_OK); return null; } // IE 5.5 and IE 6 only has an accept-language header on the first request so if present // ignore this request if (theAgent.indexOf("MSIE") != -1) { if (accLang != null) { response.setContentType("application/pdf"); response.setStatus (HttpServletResponse.SC_OK); return null; } } Cheers, N --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], "David Gagnon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > You can also look how FOP work around this problem: > > http://xml.apache.org/fop/faq.html#iex-servlet-multiple > > /David > > -----Message d'origine----- > De : tvvincam [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Envoyé : June 20, 2004 22:22 > À : [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Objet : problem with returning a pdf > > Hi, > > I'm using JasperReports to create a pdf based on user criteria > submitted via a struts form. > > I've run into a problem with a feature in IE > http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q293792 > > Basically, IE will resubmit the request 3 times.
