<bean:write name="myForm" property="content"/>
where content is defined as a bte array. I am pretty certain that the contentType is specified correctly, since I saw several examples of servlets that worked with PDF correctly and specified the mime type the same way.

Meaning is "application/pdf" exactly correct? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2003 10:54 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Can someone help with this??? Using bean:write to display/stream PDF content The problem is: what is the type of the attribute in the form bean? If I use byte array, it fails -- just displays the address of the array in memory as a string on the screen. If I use String attribute in the form bean and convert my pdf byte array into a string by doing this str = new String(byteArray), then it does not convert properly and my browser hangs. I did set the content type to "application/pdf" on top of the JSP. Any suggestions how to make this work?

Using bean:write to display/stream PDF content I think in a previous post someone mentioned setting the content-type of the page to be that of a PDF document, then you write the stream back to the client from the JSP. The client will handle launching the appropritae viewer. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2003 10:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Can someone help with this??? Using bean:write to display/stream PDF content Are there any struts gurus here that can help me? I did not get a single answer to this question. If there was a solution to this question, it would help many people that are working with portlets, like me, who can use JSP and cannot use servlets durectly to stream binary content to the browser. Thanks. ----------------- Forwarded by Leonard Reinstein/NY/ONE on 07/23/2003 10:34 AM --------------------------- From: Leonard Reinstein on 07/22/2003 09:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: Using bean:write to display/stream PDF content -- please help. I would like to be able to display/stream the PDF file in the browser and use the <bean:write> tag in the JSP to acomplish that. Say I have a form bean that has a byte array field, and I want the jsp to specify the contentType as "application/pdf" and just have the bean:write tag, such as: <bean:write name="mybean" property="pdfcontent"/> Is this possible to achieve? Are there any hacks/tricks to make it work in a JSP when the form bean has the binary content field? When I do it with with the byte array attribute, it just displays the address of the array in memory (possibly calls toString()). If I make the field of type String and convert the byte array to String in the controller as follows: str = new String(byteArray), it does not get converted correctly and the browser hangs. I know the best way to do it is to have a servlet. But I need to do it in a JSP because of certain limitations of my application. Please help. Thanks.
