PDF rendering issue

[tom tom <j_...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,
In a  normal struts application in the action class we
can get the output stream and can do the
PDF rendering,

But I want to know How can the same functionality be
achieved using a struts-bridge because when I tried
to get the output stream it is basically null,
How can we do a pdf rendering kind of task using
struts bridge,


Also I would like to know when to set the action url
and the render urls in the config.

Currently all my entries are action urls,
Thanks

That is because your portlet output is now going to be aggregated to a portal managed page,
potentially together with the output from other portlets as well.
So, your content *must* comply with the content-type of your page (usually html).
Please read up on the JSR-168 portlet specification.

You can use an iframe which src points to a (struts) servlet rendered output stream.
Or you can use something like a portlet or fileserver pipeline as provided by Jetspeed-2,
but that is a portal specific solution, not based on JSR-168 specs and thus not easily
"portable" to other portals.

Again, please read up on JSR-168, and then check out this:
