Poblem with PDF and Tomcat 4.1.18
Hi,
Is there any known problems with Tomcat 4.1.18 standalone in serving
dynamically generated PDF files ?. I am using IE 5.0 and IE 5.0. The PDF
file is generated in a servlet using JasperReports reporting engine. Instead
of displaying the file IE 5 displays a small icon on left hand top corner
and when it is clicked it says that no viewer the object trying to open.It
also says that the content type is text/html;charst=ISO-8859-1. The windows
task manager shows no acrobat process is running. While a sample application
provided with JasperReports is working fine with same server and browser. I
also noticed that the servlet is invoked two times. I uninstalled Acrobat
Reader 5.0 and installed 5.1. Still the problem persists. But the PDF is
opened in IE 6.0 with Acrobat Reader 4.0. Do any one what the problem is ?

99.9999% sure its the browser, not Tomcat.
IE 5.0 is broken, plain and simple. Various minor versions have completely
different behavior than other minor versions. What's fixed in one is
broken in the next, and so on. The vast majority of problems my users face
are resolved the minute they upgrade off of IE 5.0.

Thanks for the reply. I think there is some problem with Tomcat also. I
tested the same servlet with Tomcat standalone 4.0.2 on Windows NT Server
with the same browser and the PDF file is displayed . But the servlet is
called three times.

As an aside, check it with Mozilla and/or Opera. My guess is, it will work
fine.
