RE: Servlet Output Filename

All,

I cannot figure out how to specify the output filename when calling FOP from
a servlet. I extended the example servlet that came with the distribution.

I confess I know just enough JAVA to be dangerous, but that didn't stop me
from successfully using FOP. However, on this I'm stumped and I must be able
to allow the user to specify the outfile name.

I have search the FAQs, the internet, and tried to use setOutfile.

I'm using 0.94.

Thanks,
Pete Allison

Thanks, I had just figured this out. Same technique.

Took me a little while the find the proper spot in the Servlet (remember I'm
JAVA-challenged) but have got it working.

Thanks,
Pete Allison

I'm not familiar with the servlet example, but normally in a servlet you'd
set the content-disposition header:

     HttpServletResponse aResponse;   // assume you have this
     aResponse.setContentType("application/octet-stream");
     aResponse.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" +
aName + ".pdf\"");
