RE: Help - xml to pdf using struts
Mark,
I have tested this out on 5.0, 5.01, 5.5, 6.0.26 and have not encountered
any problem with the page being displayed, what release of IE are you using?
I have attached a small servlet which will render a page straight to the
browser, at least under those listed above.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Todd G. Nist

Yes. The problem with IE is that it doesn't show the file and you get a
blank page. This note at the fop site says:
Some browsers have problems handling the PDF result sent back to the
browser. IE is particularly bad and different versions behave differently.
Having a .pdf on the end of the url may help.

Did you set the content type to application/pdf and then return null

what we do and it appears to work fine.

Hi Lisa,
That looks similar to my solution. The biggest problem I had was with
getting IE to display the PDF inline without a PDF in the URL Using a
Struts action, I wasn't able to get the URL to change at the appropriate
time with a redirect. In the end, I sent the pdf as an attachment which
gives the open/save prompt. Were you able to get around this problem?
Thanks, Mike

Here is the bit of my action that deals with the pdf creation.
First I transform xml to fo using xsl (and Xalan). The result is written
to an InputSteam, which is passed into FOP. The result from FOP is then
written out the client and the content type is set to application/pdf.

RE: Help - xml to pdf using struts
Hi Mike I originally sent the pdf as an attachment as well, but found that if the user clicked save instead of open the pdf wasn't saved correctly and couldn't be opened. If the pdf was opened straight away and then saved it saved fine. Does your implementation not have this problem? I would be interested to see how you are doing it. :) I haven't had a problem with IE opening the pdf file even though the url doesn't have a .pdf on the end. It opens fine in the browser window. Netscape still prompts you to choose open or save but when you save straight away from Netscape it works fine. (Netscape worked fine the other way too.) Oh, and I return null from my action just like Todd suggests.

Consider Jasper on Sourceforge.net Ampie Barnard wrote: Just an idea... You could also consider setting up a filter (Servlets 2.3) that intercepts the reporting requests.

RE: Help - xml to pdf using struts
The error I'm talking about only happens in IE ... so if you have users who might be using IE, I'd suggest you check it out a little more (There's some information about this on the FOP site). On the other hand, I had no problem saving the PDF as a file from the open/save dialog. Mike -Original Message- From: Lisa van Gelder [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 16, 2002 12:32 PM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: Help - xml to pdf using struts Hi Mike I originally sent the pdf as an attachment as well, but found that if the user clicked save instead of open the pdf wasn't saved correctly and couldn't be opened. If the pdf was opened straight away and then saved it saved fine. Does your implementation not have this problem? I would be interested to see how you are doing it. :) I haven't had a problem with IE opening the pdf file even though the url doesn't have a .pdf on the end. It opens fine in the browser window. Netscape still prompts you to choose open or save but when you save straight away from Netscape it works fine. (Netscape worked fine the other way too.) Oh, and I return null from my action just like Todd suggests.

The biggest problem I had was with getting IE to display the PDF inline without a PDF in the URL Using a Struts action, I wasn't able to get the URL to change at the appropriate time with a redirect. In the end, I sent the pdf as an attachment which gives the open/save prompt. Were you able to get around this problem?

Re: Help - xml to pdf using struts
I have used fop (http://xml.apache.org/fop/) to create PDF. The fop distribution contains an example servlet that delivers PDF to a browswer, its fairly easy to adapt that servlet to be an action class. I guess the XML to fo is best done with XSLT but we crated to fo part directly so we did not have to do that transformation. Regards output as HTML or PDF.

Just an idea... You could also consider setting up a filter (Servlets 2.3) that intercepts the reporting requests. It can then allow your reporting page to generate the xml. The filter can decide whether to use xsl/fo or xsl/html, by simply mapping the request uri to the correct xsl template.
