[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - render pdf without landing on blank page?

[dustismo]

Hi,

I am trying to render a pdf using an action, problem is that it always lands me on a blank page..  I would settle for opening in a new window, but I can't get that to work either.

my export() method returns the view of the report to render, but I need to submit the form so s:button doesn't work..


  | <h:form id="graphreport_fm">
  | 				<s:validateAll>
  | 					
  | 					<h:outputLabel styleClass="form-label" for="title">Title:</h:outputLabel>
  | 					<br />
  | 					<s:decorate>
  | 						<h:inputText size="30" id="title" value="#{graphReport.report.title}" />
  | 						<s:message />
  | 					</s:decorate>
  | 					<br />
  | 					
  | 					<!-- other options -->
  | 
  | 				</s:validateAll>
  | 				<s:button onclick="document.forms['graphreport_fm'].submit();" value="Export Now" action="#{graphReport.export()}" target="_new"/>
  | 		</h:form>
  | 

Where my export method is something like:


  | public String export() {
  | 		return generateReportViewId();
  | 	}
  | 

that leads to the following message:


  | 
  | INFO  [lifecycle] WARNING: FacesMessage(s) have been enqueued, but may not have been displayed.
  | sourceId=null[severity=(WARN 1), summary=(The conversation ended, timed out or was processing another request), detail=(The conversation ended, timed out or was processing another request)]
