Hi, I am aware of how to store the contents to the database. What i am really interested is how to capture the output of the servlet. Forget PDF, assume that the Servlet is just serving a normal html content. After the servlet has given this to the response, how to capture this as a byte stream is my real question. Thanks, Rajesh

(I have MySQL) but oracle/ mssql7 all have this data type. 1. generated pdf document needs to converted into binary data. ( it is be default ;-) 2. write it down to that field as normal query. you may wish to see java.sql.Blob and java.sql.prepraedStatement.setBlob --second way-- 0. create a field in your database with varbinary type. 1. generated pdf document. read it as byte stream and get arrys of bytes. 2. write it down to that field as normal query. see java.sql.prepraedStatement.setBytes HTH navjot |-----Original Message----- |From: Rajesh P [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] |Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2003 5:28 PM |To: Struts Users Mailing List |Subject: Storing the Output of a Servlet to Database | | |Hello Everyone, |I have a requirement wherein a Servlet class is used to generate a |PDF document.
