Re: read local file in ActionStruts
I do something like this in one app...
I'm creating PDFs on-the-fly and then displaying them on the browser. I have a
directory named temp under my webapp that the PDFs get written to. The files
are named according the the user ID.
You have the Action writing out the file already... if we assume you also name
it according to user ID, here's how to do it...
(1) Make sure your Action adds the user ID to request as an attribute
(2) Add the following forward to your ActionMapping (changing the path
accordingly of course):
<forward name="defaultForward" path="/jsp/showPDF.jsp" />
Naturally, be sure your Action returns this forward.
(3) Add showPDF.jsp to your webapp. Here it is:
<%@ page language="java" import="java.util.*" %>
<%
String url = "http://";;
url += request.getServerName();
url += ":";
url += request.getServerPort();
url += "/myApp/temp/";
url += (String)request.getAttribute("userID");
url += ".pdf";
%>
<html>
<head>
<title>Show PDF</title>
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0">
</head>
<body onLoad="window.location='<%=url%>';">
Retrieving PDF for display...
</body>
</html>
That's it. Does the trick for me, nice and simple.
