Thanks for not giving up on me yet.
I can generate the pdf and render it to a browser with this code:
final ByteArrayOutputStream pdfout = PDFHelper.generatePDF();
final Response response = getRequestCycle().getResponse();
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
response.setContentLength(pdfout.size());
getRequestCycle().setRequestTarget(new IRequestTarget(){
public void detach(RequestCycle requestCycle) {
}
public void respond(RequestCycle requestCycle) {
try{
OutputStream stream = response.getOutputStream();
stream.write(pdfout.toByteArray());
stream.flush();
pdfout.close();
}catch(IOException ex){
throw new RuntimeException(ex);
}
}
});
Thanks
