Print PDF files on the load of a JSP Page

[Sonu <so...@yahoo.com>]

Hello all,

I am using Apache FOP for PDF generation in our
project where we generate the PDF on the fly. After I
form the XML from the database data and applying
XSL:FO (XSL) on that. When I select some items and
press the print button on one browser page, I am able
to open a new window where I am directing the PDF
output to that new JSP page and I am able to see the
output the way I want it. 

The only problem is that I want to pop the print
option just like we do using the onload feature of 
javascript function (window.print()). This doesnt seem
to happen when I am using a PDF within a JSP
page....Has anyone tried to do this ?

Please suggest.

Thanks,
Sonu

Re: Print PDF files on the load of a JSP Page

I'm not sure what you mean by "I want to pop the print
option".  I'm also not clear about the abilities of
having PDF within a JSP page--or "directing the PDF to
a new JSP page".   JSP is translated server-side, and
comes back to the client as an HTML stream.  Normally
you send the PDF back to the client by itself on the
response stream, after setting the MIME type to
"application/pdf".  But I'm far from being a JSP
expert, it may have several capabilities I'm just
unaware of.

Perhaps our sample FOP Servlet code may be of help to
you:
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/xml-fop/src/java/org/apache/fop/servlet/FopServlet.java?rev=1.4

Also, selecting the Sun JSP forum at
"http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jsp?forum=45" and
searching on "PDF" gave 178 responses...you may find
your answer there; failing that, at the nearby Servlet
forum.  If you're using Struts, the Struts User ML is
excellent.
