Opening DynamicWebResource from Button/AjaxButton?
In a project I am working on, I wrote a DynamicWebResource that generates a
PDF file and, by setting the Content-Disposition in the header, got it so
that the user is prompted to download the PDF when they click on a
ResourceLink to my PDF-generating resource.
That all works fine but now I need to open the PDF from a button. I want to
allow the user to select a value in a form and press a button to view
somewhat of a report for the item they selected. However, there doesn't
appear to be any type of button that would lead a user to my
DynamicWebResource. Is there any way to have a button do a submit (update
the model) and then lead the user to a resource?

>From what I've read, the difference between the two browsers is that IE uses
the file name's extension to determine what type of file it is and other
browsers like FireFox use the MIME type provided by the remote server (your
application in this case.)
So, IE is seeing ".csv" and assuming it's a CSV file. FireFox on the other
hand is looking at the "text/plain" MIME type you provided and assuming it's
a plain text file. You are using the wrong mime type.

thanks, UPBrandon
I tried your code, for csv,
public class CsvRequestTarget extends ByteDataRequestTarget {
public CsvRequestTarget(byte[] data, String fileName) {
super("text/plain", data, fileName+".csv");
}
}
but it can not work with IE ａｎｄ ｆｆ．

Re: I also have the question
Posted by UPBrandon <bc...@up.com>.
For a while, we were using a solution that allowed us to download generated
PDF's but it only seemed to work in IE and some people had trouble using it
from "outside connections."
What I wanted was a way to access dynamic/generated content that:
- Doesn't cause Wicket to be come non-responsive after the request
- Works in at least IE and FF
- Allows a file name to be provided
- Allows a mime type to be provided
After taking another stab at it, I was able to get that working. Here is
what I ended up with:
public class ByteDataRequestTarget extends ByteArrayResource implements
IRequestTarget {
private String fileName;
public ByteDataRequestTarget(String mimeType, byte[] data, String fileName)
{
super(mimeType, data, fileName);
this.fileName = fileName;
}
public void detach(RequestCycle requestCycle) { }
public void respond(RequestCycle requestCycle) {
requestCycle.setRequestTarget(new
ResourceStreamRequestTarget(this.getResourceStream() ) {
public String getFileName() {
return fileName;
}
} );
}
}
And then I subclassed for different common file types like PDF and CSV.
Those subclasses basically just provide the MIME type for the user and
automatically add the file extension.
public class PdfRequestTarget extends ByteDataRequestTarget {
public PdfRequestTarget(byte[] data, String fileName) {
super(Constants.PDF_MIME_TYPE, data, fileName+".pdf");
}
}
To use the class, you do something like this:
new Button(buttonId, new Model("My Button") ) {
public void onSubmit() {
getRequestCycle().setRequestTarget(new PdfRequestTarget(getSomePdfData(),
"FileName") );
}
};
I hope that helps.

Re: Opening DynamicWebResource from Button/AjaxButton?
Posted by UPBrandon <bc...@up.com>.
It's not that I necessary want to see the page refreshed with updated form
values. In fact, I would prefer that the user not leave the page at all.
All the form contains is a checkgroup of "things" to include in the PDF.
All I want to do when the button is pressed is view/download the PDF but the
form with the checkgroup needs to be submitted first so I can see what was
checked when I generate the PDF.
I suppose taking the ResourceReference's and using it in the onload would
work but it seems like such a hack, not to mention that it might cause
problems if the user uses the back button. While working on my
DynamicWebResource, I was able to download a PDF and continue using my
application using a link (assigned to either a link or button in HTML.) The
only problem is that it doesn't do a submit. Accessing the
DynamicWebResource from a button works but makes my app non-responsive.
What I would like to do is either make the ResourceLink somehow submit my
form or, even better, make a button component that handles the request in a
way that doens't break Wicket. Ideas/suggestions?

Re: I also have the question

UPBrandon, I tried your code, and it doesn't repaint the form. Isn't that
something you wanted to do? When I tried it, it gave me the file stream, but
the form was NOT updated...

Re: Opening DynamicWebResource from Button/AjaxButton?
Posted by Igor Vaynberg <ig...@gmail.com>.
so you want to see the page with updated form values _and_ stream the pdf?
why dont you take that url you generated for your resourceref and
append it to a window.onload javascript that does window.location=url;

Re: Opening DynamicWebResource from Button/AjaxButton?
Posted by UPBrandon <bc...@up.com>.
As I mentioned in my previous response, I couldn't use
getRequestCycle().setRequestTarget() directly because of the way the API
works (you can use a ResourceReference but not a Resource.) Instead, I
ended up with something like this:
new AjaxButton(buttonId, form) {
protected void onSubmit(AjaxRequestTarget target, Form form) {
ResourceReference pdfReference = new ResourceReference("") {
protected Resource newResource() {
return new BillPdfWebResource(...);
}
};
String url = getRequestCycle().get().urlFor(pdfReference).toString();
getRequestCycle().setRequestTarget(new RedirectRequestTarget(url) );
}
}
It works... but only once. When I click on the button, everything works, my
PDF gets generated and downloaded but then my app becomes unresponsive. I
can't interact with the site at all until I "start over." Is there a better
way to go about this that wouldn't cause that side effect? Whatever
approach I take, I need to be able to submit a form when the PDF is
generated. My example doesn't show it but my BillPdfWebResource class
generates a PDF based on the user's selection and my Form's Model needs to
be updated. Any suggestions?

Re: Opening DynamicWebResource from Button/AjaxButton?
Posted by UPBrandon <bc...@up.com>.
The urlFor() method can take a few different types but not a
Resource/WebResource/DynamicWebResource. It can take a ResourceReference
but would mean that I would have to register an object of my
DynamicWebResource class as a shared resource before I could get a reference
to it, wouldn't it? It would be nice if there was a more "direct" approach.
