SV: set content type to text/pdf
Hi Install Acrobat Reader - That will do the trick. Currently you have no association with the .pdf extension. Hermod -Opprinnelig melding- Fra: Alex [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sendt: 21. juni 2002 09:37 Til: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Emne: set content type to text/pdf I have a servlet that generates pdf content. In the initData method, I use: httpservletresponse.setContentType(text/pdf); When i access the servlet from the browser (i'm using win2k), it opens a small window asking me what to do with the file (open, save, cancel..), and then, when i choose open, it asks me which application should i use to open that file (it is called Tiparire[1], because my servlet is called Tiparire), and then i choose acrobat reader. What can i do so my browser automatically opens the pdf content generated by the servlet ? Thanks in advance...

Hi, I think when you make the request go to Tiparire.pdf it should open in your browser. It somehow also has something to do with the extension.

Re: set content type to text/pdf
right. Mozilla and other such browsers listen to the mime type, but IE (living in a microsoft world where everything is done via file extensions) is famous for relying on the extension rather than the mime type.

MS IE has sometimes his own opinion what to open and ignores the content type. The safest way to convince IE to open PDF is to set the content type to load the file from a url that has the extension .pdf. Additional hint: Make shure that your servlet supports Byte range requests (HTTP 1.1). The acrobat reader sometimes uses this.

Re: AW: set content type to text/pdf
I'm sure there's a better way, but in case there's not, there's always mod_rewrite. You could rewrite the url so that /(*).pdf goes to /$1.

It's possible to configure tomcat to let you request /servlet/Tiparire/text.pdf and to get /servlet/Tiparire executed. I haven't tried by now to do something like that so can't give you much more help.

This was posted some hours ago to an error that looks similar to yours: This error is caused by a problem in the web.xml file and the full error can be seen in the webapp loader log files. If you have not overridden this with a Logger tag, then the file will be named catalina_somedate.log in your CATALINA_HOME/logs folder. That error will tell you exactly what is going wrong.

Re: AW: AW: set content type to text/pdf
You might need to declare the servlet from within a servlet element like this as well: |servlet-mapping servlet-nameTiparire/servlet-name url-patternTiparire.pdf/url-pattern /servlet-mapping servlet servlet-nameTiparire/servlet-name servlet-classTiparire/servlet-class /servlet | servlet-class is actually the fully qualified class name (with package name etc), just in case it's part of a package.

Re: AW: AW: set content type to text/pdf
Digging back into the dark cavern that is trying to get IE to work with a spec complying application (from which I have emerged and no longer care about)... I believe you might be able to go http://server:8080/servlet/pdfservlet?thisisnotanarg.pdf This may confuse IE into giving you what it should have given you in the first place. I also vaguely recall that IE is VERY particular about the headers that you send... the following are headers that I sent out of an app I was using with PDF. Worth trying, but not worth relying on! response.addHeader( Content-Type, application/pdf; name= + (char) 34 + outfilename + (char) 34); response.addHeader( Content-Disposition, inline; filename= + (char) 34 + outfilename + (char) 34); Enjoy! (Don't question the use of (char) 34, I borrowed it from elsewhere without thinking!) Now when someone can explain why IE displays PNG with a different color than what they really are (no alpha channels or anything silly like that), then I'll be happy. Well... no I won't, but I might be bemused! Constantin Wolber wrote: Freitag, 21. Juni 2002 11:10 schrieb Alex: Tiparire.class is not part of any package.
