Re: Howto return a pdf file as a stream?

[Rico Wiese]

Hi Bjorn,

here is just the way how we did it:

public void print(ActionEvent event) {
    FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    HttpServletResponse response =
      (HttpServletResponse) context.getExternalContext().getResponse();

    response.setContentType("application/pdf");
    FpRegisterableEJB bean = null;
    try {
      bean = createEquipedBean( getLink() );
      JCPrinter printer = PrintManager.getPDFPrinter( response.getOutputStream() );
      PrintManager.printDocument( getReport( printer , bean ) , printer );
    } catch (Exception e) {
      logAndRethrowException( e );
    } finally{
      removeBean(bean);
    }
    context.responseComplete();
  }


regards

Rico
