PDF files won't display in browser

2002-09-13 12:56

Whenever I try to view a pdf through IE6.0 that has been compiled by JasperReports, it asks to save the practiceReport.jsp as a pdf file instead of displaying it. However, if I try to open practiceReport.pdf IE6.0 opens it without a problem. Mozilla, opens it the same file without a problem, either way.

 

I'm using Tomcat 4.04 on win2k.

 

Here's my jsp code:

byte[] bytes =

JasperRunManager.runReportToPdf(

reportFile.getPath(),

parameters,

getConnection()

);

ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(bytes.length);

baos.write(bytes,0,bytes.length);

 

response.setContentType("application/pdf");

response.setContentLength(baos.size());

ServletOutputStream outputStream = response.getOutputStream();

baos.writeTo(outputStream);

outputStream.flush();

outputStream.close();

baos.flush();

baos.close();

 

Any thoughts?
