Re: [iText-questions] BAOS in one step?

[Jim Hurricane]

Sorry, I guess my question wasn't clear...

I'm trying to see if there's a simple change that can be made to the Romeo & 
Juliet Example that will let you output to a baos instead of to a physical 
file. If not, I already have the code that reads the PDF into a BAOS and 
returns it to the browser.

Thanks for your reply.

Thanks.

I think what you have to do is:

1) create a web application
2) a jsp page which will trigger the request by calling a servlet
3) a servlet which handles this request and executes an operation (a class
with a createPdf method) and sends the baos back to a jsp page.
4) a class which contains a createPdf method with ByteArrayOutputStream as
return type, where you create the final pdf as a baos instead of a physical
file.

Look also at the following link. It might give you some help.

2007/5/18, Jim Hurricane <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

I just joined this list yesterday and am not sure my posting made it
online.

I was asking if the basic Romeo & Juliet code example could be modified so
that it writes to a ByteArrayOutputStream directly or if it would be best
to
first write the PDF and then read the PDF into a BAOS and return that?

We're using this code inside a server application so we need to return the
BAOS stream so the browser displays the PDF.

I tried to modify the basic code where you set the writer (using a baos
object instead of a FileOutputStream), but that didn't work.

Look forward to any thoughts or ideas.

Thanks..
