Problem with forward

[Daniel Jaffa <ja...@courtinnovation.org>]

Ok, i have an action that creates a pdf.  The action then forwards it self
to a Servlet that should display the just generatered PDF.

When i call the servlet directly it works fine
http://10.132.240.33:82/domesticviolence/GenPDF/

but when my Action forwards to the servlet nothing happens
<forward name="dataLoaded" path="/GenPDF/" redirect="true"/>

I get no error messages, or any HTML error page.

I know that ie has a problem with the length of the response object but i am
handling that correctly.

Any idea on how to fix the problem.

public class Transform
{

 public void Transform() {}
 private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Transform.class);
 public static void action (HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response)
 {
   javax.servlet.ServletOutputStream ostream;
   FileInputStream fis;
   byte[] theByte;

 try {
  String orderNumber = (String) request.getAttribute("orderNumber");
  String formApprovedID = (String) request.getAttribute("formApprovedID");
  RegistryBean myForm = (RegistryBean) request.getAttribute("myForm");
  theByte = FileByte.convertFileToByte("/pdf/myfile.pdf");
  ostream = response.getOutputStream();
  response.setContentType("application/pdf");
  ostream = response.getOutputStream();
  ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

  FileInputStream from = new FileInputStream("/pdf/myfile.pdf");

  byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
  int bytes_read;
  while((bytes_read = from.read(buffer)) != -1)
  {
   baos.write(buffer, 0, bytes_read);
  }
  response.setContentLength( baos.size());
  baos.writeTo(ostream);
  ostream.flush();
  ostream.close();
  response.flushBuffer();
  logger.debug("Buffer Size" + response.getBufferSize());
  logger.debug("isCommitted()" + response.isCommitted());
  } catch( Exception e) {System.err.println(e);}





  }
  }
