There would be no way to stream the contents of a file embedded inside of HTML. The only possibility there would be a signed Java applet or and activex control *shudder* to save it to the hard drive then launch it.

Is there a way to stream the PDF back the same window then, and in the onload, detect if it's the PDF stream, and if so then open the new window using javascript with the PDF stream in that? That way we don't have to store the report in the Session and worry about clearing it, etc. A javascript code example would be great if anyone knows of one. I was hoping to avoid javascript and use JSF if possible, but not always possible to avoid javascript.
