Re: closing the browser after streaming a pdf file
Hi, You could make the pdf file as downloadable instead of trying to open the pdf inside web browser ,Following code will make the pdf download Document document = new Document(); ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, baos); document.open(); document.add(new Phrase(Some dummy text goes here,font)); document.close(); // setting some response headers response.setHeader(Expires, 0); response.setHeader(Cache-Control, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0); response.setHeader(Pragma, public); // setting the content type response.setContentType(application/pdf); response.addHeader(Content-disposition, attachment;filename=\GCQuotes.pdf\); // the contentlength is needed for MSIE!!! response.setContentLength(baos.size()); // write ByteArrayOutputStream to the ServletOutputStream ServletOutputStream outs = response.getOutputStream(); outs.write(baos.toByteArray()) ; outs.flush() ; outs.close() ; The above examples uses a third party PDF wrtier API 'itext' - Original Message - From: Rivka Shisman [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Struts Users Mailing List user@struts.apache.org Sent: Monday, January 02, 2006 11:24 AM Subject: RE: closing the browser after streaming a pdf file Hi Tamas and thanks for trying, What I want to do is to create a pdf report in memory and stream it from my Action to Acrobat.

But you probably get that empty browser because the Acrobat Reader plugin is set up so that it opens in a new window instead of opening in a browser. You can change this option in the Preferences of Acrobat Reader. Does this solve your problem? The only problem is that if it's an Internet application(usable by anyone) you can't control how the users will configure their Acrobat Reader plugins.

Re: So boring issues about character encoding in action ......
Hi,
In the struts action you are setting character encoding on 'request'
object req ,it however needs to be on 'response' ie res.
Deepesh.
public class TestAction extends Action{
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest req,
HttpServletResponse res) throws Exception {
req.setCharacterEncoding(UTF-8); // this should be
res.setCharacterEncoding(UTF-8);
String description = req.getParameter(description);
description = (description == null?:description.trim());
try{
ItemDAO itemDao = ItemDAO.getInstance();
Item item = new Item();

Subject: So boring issues about character encoding in action ..
I need to create an internationalized Web application by struts,mysql and
hibernate.
Each component Character Encoding is utf8.
It runs well when I run a pure servlet to save 'Chinese Character' to
database and load it from database.
But when I implement it with struts action, the application can not save
Chinese correctly.
I really don't know why struts action can not work well. I am sure there is
no difference between them.
Is there anywhere to set character encoding for action? Please help!

item.setDescription(description);
itemDao.save(item);

Re: Null Pointer exception when using struts html tag library injspfile
Try creating a new context with the blank struts application,which you said is working fine, and run the jsp there. Something seems to be missing or not properly configured ,I had a similar problem last year when I accidently mixed the config files of version 1.1 and 1.2 Deepesh Nandal. - Original Message - From: Archana Soni [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Struts Users Mailing List user@struts.apache.org Sent: Friday, September 23, 2005 9:56 AM Subject: RE: Null Pointer exception when using struts html tag library injspfile MC, Actually, the jsp page is referring a page within my application. For testing purpose, I tried with an absolute URL and I sent U that changed jsp. Anyways, I noted that anything between the html tags is not affecting b'coz even after removing the complete body and just leaving (%@ taglib) with an empty body, I am still getting the NullPOinterException.

You should use the 'href' parameter to refer to a URI. I've never found any good documentation on the use of various taglib parameters, maybe somebody else on this list could point us in the right direction. PS If you leave the taglib statement in and take out the html:link commands do you still get the NullPointer error? Also, because these URIs are external to the application there is nothing to stop you using a simple html anchor a href=...link/a. The use of the html taglib is only really necessary when referring to elements within your application.
