Peter, That is going to be a bit of a problem. For every request from the client you can get a response. If you request the PDF then you get the PDF in the response. Telling Tapestry to send another page will override the download. Which is the behavior you are seeing. Our solution which we ultimately abandoned was to use an iFrame to contact a Tapestry 3 download Service which we had written to request the file. So, once the page was sent back it checked to see if a document was available and if it was the iFrame kicked off a download. We had to stop because if you crank up the security in IE it thinks someone is trying to do something sneaky and the download fails. We ultimately went to putting a button on the page so they could download the file.
It might be possible to use AJAX to do this as part of a page download, I don't know enough about JavaScript to know if it is possible. HTH, Mark Mark J.
