Re: JSP to PDF... it's doable
Alphaworks as the DRE project, that helps you out to create PDF files,
there is a bunch of HTML to PDF out there as well, you could catch the HTML
output of a jsp and put it into a PDF... here is somo html catching code
that generates a html file on disk..
public static void main(java.lang.String[] args) {
InputStream is = null;
File f;
PrintWriter out = null;
try {
f = new File("D:\\Temp", "domino.html");
out = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(f)));
} catch (IOException create) {
}
URLConnection conn = null;
try {
URL url =
new URL
("http://127.0.0.1/LABS.NSF/a8d73b2120817f1986256aa40079a254/d1f1a1302749375686256aa4007d0deb?OpenDocument");
conn = url.openConnection();
is = url.openStream();
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(is));
while (!in.ready()) {}; // Not sure if this line is needed
String line = " ";
while (line != null) {
try {
line = in.readLine();
if (line != null) {
System.out.println(line);
out.println(line);
}
} catch (IOException ioreading) {
break;
}
}
out.flush();
out.close();
} catch (MalformedURLException urle) {
} catch (IOException ioex) {
}
}
Maybe this is note best way of do it, it's working though...
Another thought, you can control the MIME type of an jsp output, so in
theory you could specify the MIME type for acrobat and output a PDF
directly, just in the same way as you can send an png or a jpeg file to a
browser...

Please respond
to "Tomcat
Users List"
you can't make a pdf output from a jsp
the reason is quite simple
pdf is a binary format and JSPs can only generate text-based output
wanna make pdf, write a servlet
there must be an open source (maybe only LGPL) library to make pdfs
somewhere, the name is lowagie something
hope this helps
David

Re: JSP to PDF... it's doable
Posted by Huaxin <hx...@cs.ualberta.ca>.
However, sometimes you can't open a JSP using URL, -- the
sessionId is unknown to u.
Is there a way to record ServletResponse to a log file?
