byte serving PDF with Tomcat 5.0.27

[Maceno, Shawn]

Hello all,
 
I'm running Tomcat 5.0.27 on Linux, and need to know if this version of
Tomcat supports byte serving and how to determine if it's working.  If
anyone can provide any help, I'd greatly appreciate it!
 
 
Thank you,
Shawn Maceno

Sure, just set the content-type and stream some bytes. As far as I know 
this applies to all versions of tomcat too.

Thanks for the quick reply.  I think I need a little more hand-holding
on this one, not being the Tomcat genius...  Can you provide some kind
of example that shows where the content-type setting is and what it
needs to be?

Thanks again,

Shawn Maceno

It's not so much a tomcat setting (it's not something you configure), as it
is writing the correct type of servlet. 

I googled for  [servlet binary content] and the first two links looked
decent.

Have a look at the iText homepage at http://www.lowagie.com/iText . This is a 
library for generating PDF files from Java. There is a step by step tutorial 
and one section is how to use iText in web applications. I think that's 
exactly what you're looking for. Even if you don't want to use iText, but the 
basic mechanisms are shown.

HTH,
Ralf.
