We have recently come across a limitation with the Jasper Reports view and Internet Explorer (Boo, hiss) and I thought I'd throw it open for suggestions on the mailing list.
IE has trouble recognizing that what we send it when we run a report to PDF is actually a PDF despite setting the mime type. The way to get around this is to use a get instead of a post which makes IE happy but leads to all of the parameters being visible on the URL. The problem occurs when the number of parameters on the screen that generates the PDF is so large that the URL length limit is exceeded. We have a page in our system where this occurs. Setting the content disposition to "attachment; filename=report.pdf" in the JasperReportsViewServlet makes IE recognize that the result is a PDF but brings up an "open or save" dialog when what is really wanted is to open the PDF in the Acrobat reader plugin automatically. Has anyone come across a way to get IE to recognize PDF's properly ? -- Peter Kelley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Moveit Pty Ltd ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Opensymphony-webwork mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/opensymphony-webwork
