Hi Pallavi, you took a more elegant way to forward to te servlet. I will take this also for my version next. what is also different, I do target the form to "_blank" to open a new window. Also I implemented the processing in protected void service(final HttpServletRequest request, final HttpServletResponse response) of HttpServlet but I can not see, why you get entire page content instead of the textArea, sorry. Regards, Stephan

I have now included the servlet and JSF portlet in the same war file and deployed on Websphere Portal Server. But currently the saving of the text area contents into word document is happening but it saves the entire portlet page instead of only the text area contents. Could you help me in my last minute hitch with the code. 1) JSF Portlet Page: ------------------------ <h:inputTextarea id="text1" value="#{pc_TextAreaView.textAreaValue}" rows="10" cols="50" /> <h:commandButton id="save1" value="Save with Servlet" action="#{pc_TextAreaView.SaveAsWord}" /> 2) Backing bean Save method: ---------------------------------------- public void SaveAsWord() { System.out.println("I invoke this"); FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); ExternalContext ctx = context.getExternalContext(); try{ HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse)ctx.getResponse(); HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)ctx.getRequest(); RequestDispatcher view = request.getRequestDispatcher("/WordServ1"); view.forward(request,response); }catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();} 3) Servlet to handle the saving in word document ------------------------------------------------------------------ protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); ValueBinding vb = facesContext.getApplication().createValueBinding("#{pc_TextAreaView}"); TextAreaView mybean = (TextAreaView) vb.getValue(facesContext); String mytextarea = mybean.getTextAreaValue(); String filen = "default.doc"; response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-word"); response.setHeader( "content-disposition","attachment;name=\""+filen+"\";filename=\""+filen+ "\""); response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache"); try{ byte[] buf=new byte[4*1024]; InputStream inStream=new ByteArrayInputStream(mytextarea.getBytes()); OutputStream outStream=response.getOutputStream(); int sizeRead; while ( ( sizeRead=inStream.read(buf, 0, buf.length) ) != -1 ) { outStream.write(buf, 0, sizeRead); } inStream.close(); outStream.close(); } catch(IOException ex){ ex.printStackTrace();} } } Best Regards, Pallavi ________________________________ From: Nebinger, David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 22, 2006 8:25 PM To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: RE: response.Header() not working in JSF Portlet To expand on what Stephan provided, in order to share application scope between your JSF application and a non-JSF servlet, they need to be deployed in the same war file and entered in the same web.xml. Combining them in this way will provide the connectivity you'd need based upon Stephan's original response. -----Original Message----- From: Strittmatter, Stephan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 22, 2006 6:49 AM To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: AW: response.Header() not working in JSF Portlet Hi Pallavi, I use Liferay on Tomcat. The servlet I included within my portlet war. Not in a separate war. Sorry for my short answer, but we have currently system tests with our customer...

I am using RAD as my IDE and Wepsphere portal server and application server(WAS). Which Portal server are you using.Are you using the same combination. I wanted to know whether you are creating a seperate war file to deploy your servlet on WAS. Then invoking a call to your servlet from your portlet. Can you show me some light on this grey area. Best Regards, Pallavi ________________________________ From: Strittmatter, Stephan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2006 9:29 PM To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: AW: response.Header() not working in JSF Portlet Hi Pallavi, within a portlet it is not allowed to chenge the response header. Otherwise a portlet would damage the portal around your portlet. I had this problem also and created a servlet, which I assigned with the special extention. The only problem was, that I had to include the part in a verbatim tag to have a form with an own defined target probably there is a different more elegant way...: <f:verbatim> <form action="${request.contextPath}/download.xml" target="_blank" method="post"> <input type="submit" value="Download" title="Download XML file" id="execute" style="width:7em;" class="portlet-form-button" /> <input type="hidden" name="execute" value="execute" /> </form> </f:verbatim> In the web.xml you have to define then the servlet and assign it to the extention. In the servlet you can access the backing bean by following to get some values: FacesContext c = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); Application application = c.getApplication(); MyBackingBean bBean= (MyBackingBean) application.createValueBinding("#{MyBackingBean}").getValue(c); Regards, Stephan ________________________________ Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Montag, 20.
