Re: PDF+JSF question

[Laurie Harper]

That code creates a new PDF file from two existing byte arrays(?) on the 
file system. The same code should work identically under JSF, the only 
thing needing to be changed being context.getRealPath() -- is that the 
bit you're asking for help with?

You should be able to replace that with something like
    ((ServletContext) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()
        .getExternalContext().getContext()).getRealPath(...)

(assuming you're deploying your application to a Servlet container, not 
a Portlet container). Does that help?

Thanks for the answer, but I think this is not what I need.

What i need is a way to join 2 or more reports in one pdf file, like is done
in struts, with JSF:

*PdfReader reader1 = new PdfReader(bytes);
PdfReader reader2 = new PdfReader(bytes2);

PdfCopyFields copy = new PdfCopyFields(new FileOutputStream(
context.getRealPath("/reports/report1 " + name + ".pdf")));

copy.addDocument(reader1);
copy.addDocument(reader2);
copy.close();*

Someone has the code to do this but in JSF?? Thanks!!!

 Hi



If you want to send a text as a download file to the browser, so something
like this. You can also

Send a binary file the same way by modifying this method a little bit :



    *public* *void* sentFileToBrowser(FacesContext aContext, String
aFileName, String aContent, *boolean* aAttachment) {



        *try* {

            HttpServletResponse theResponse = (HttpServletResponse)
aContext.getExternalContext().getResponse();

            theResponse.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");



            MimeTypeGuesser theMimeTypeGuesser = MimeTypeGuesser.*
getInstance*();

            String theContentType =
theMimeTypeGuesser.guessMimeTypeFromFileName(aFileName);



            *LOGGER*.logDebug("Content type is " + theContentType);



            String theContentDisposition = aAttachment ? "attachment" :
"inline";



            theResponse.setContentType(theContentType);

            theResponse.setHeader("Content-disposition",
theContentDisposition + "; filename=\"" + aFileName + "\"");



            // Make sure it is running with SSL smooth…..

            theResponse.setHeader("Pragma", "private");



            PrintWriter theWriter = *new* PrintWriter(*new*OutputStreamWriter(
theResponse.getOutputStream(), "UTF-8"));

            theWriter.print(aContent);

            theWriter.flush();



            theWriter.close();



            aContext.responseComplete();



        } *catch* (Exception e) {

            *throw* *new* FacesException("Error sending file", e);

        }

    }

copy.addDocument(reader1);
copy.addDocument(reader2);
copy.close();


How can I do this en JSF??

Someone told me that use PdfCopyFields

Have you tried passing the OutputStream from the response to the
PdfCopyFields instead of a FileOutputStream?

Can anyone give me an example of this?

Thanks!!
