Question About Modules

["Madel,Kurt" <km...@csmi.com>]

My understanding is that you have to use an extension mapping in order to
use the Module functionality, i.e. '*.do'

What are people doing if they need to serve say a '.pdf' from an action?
That is, my pdf is dynamic and requires the use of the same DAO's that I use
for my jsp pages.  Sure you can set the mime type, but Internet Explorer
ignores these most of the time and counts on the extension.  If you map
*.pdf and *.do then you won't be able to server static pdf's???

You can suggest a file name to the browser setting the Content-Disposition 
header  (RFC 2183)

String fileName = "theFile.pdf"
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
response.setHeader("Content-Dispostion", "inline; filename=" + fileName);



Salut!
