Hi Ortwin,
Thanks for the reply... I tried to get the InputStream and put it to a
fileoutputstream and look into the file! I see the new file which is a few
KB lesser than the original file !!
For a clearer pic , I am attaching a code snippet! Is this a right approach?
// -----
HttpClient httpClient=*new* HttpClient();
httpClient.setConnectionTimeout(_connectionCreateTimeout);
httpClient.setTimeout(_connectionReadTimeout);
postMethod=*new* PostMethod(url);
postMethod.setFollowRedirects(*false*);
httpClient.executeMethod(postMethod);
InputStream responseBodyStream = postMethod.getResponseBodyAsStream();
DataInputStream data = new DataInputStream(new
BufferedInputStream(responseBodyStream));
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("rwservlet.pdf");
*while* ((c =data.read(b)) != -1){
*byte*[] inter=*new* *byte*[c];
*for*(*int* i=0;i<c;i++) inter[i]=b[i];
fos.write(inter);
}
data.close();
// -----
Thanks a ton ...
Regards,
Vijay.
