I have a PDF that is put up by a controller I wrote (it puts the pdf right
on the response stream, and I set the content-type as pdf).
I also specify that this is an attachment, so I am presuming that it won't
open the PDF in a new window - the controller is called by a url that is in
an IFRAME.
Works just fine, with the anonymous bypass, as long as I open the browser
window from the same machine that Tomcat is running on.
If I use the app remotely, it doesn't work at all. I get the login page
inside the IFRAME.
Also, instead of opening in the IFRAME, it opens in a new window, which
isn't what I'm trying to do.
Any ideas?
String originalFileName = request.getParameter("fileName");
*logger*.debug("File name " + originalFileName);
response.setContentType( "application/pdf" );
response.setHeader("Content-disposition",
"attachment; filename=" + originalFileName);
String path = request.getSession().getServletContext().getRealPath("/");
*logger*.debug("Real path is: "+ path);
String fullPathName=path+"documents\\";
String fileName = fullPathName + originalFileName;
FileInputStream in = *new* FileInputStream(fileName);
*int* length = in.available();
*byte*[] pdfbytes = *new* *byte*[length];
in.read(pdfbytes);
in.close();
// Send response
response.setContentLength(pdfbytes.length);
ServletOutputStream outputStream = response.getOutputStream();
outputStream.write(pdfbytes, 0, pdfbytes.length);
outputStream.flush();
outputStream.close();
