i want to stream a pdf report to a page, but some how i got funny character when streaming. below is the code i wrote. i got this works at normal java application, but not in portlet. FacesContext ctx=FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); String fullPath = getReportPath(reportName); HttpServletResponse response=(HttpServletResponse)ctx.getExternalContext().getResponse(); response.setContentType("application/pdf"); response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename="+reportName+".pdf"); JasperPrint jasperPrint=JasperFillManager.fillReport(fullPath, parameters, new JRBeanCollectionDataSource(list)); JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfStream(jasperPrint, response.getOutputStream()); ctx.getApplication().getStateManager().saveSerializedView(ctx); ctx.responseComplete(); the result i got is %PDF-1.4 %âãÏÓ 4 0 obj <>stream xœ¥˜ÉnÛ0†ïz ÓCenZœ[‚.hö¸§¢Ò]qØúú¥š†ÑŒ$$±Âd>Íð*óǒ}MîW‰`Ü|4¯¥–luHŸæ»mrónõ'ùè‡p¶9ø2”iރ’ ހ¼ýõi—ÜܽTû {¬×§ÍoöP?O—榜í"7þùË\«ð§<-™ýzø –&ƒ`ÿ,§+Ê%“Š½;ÕÉ=(U±¢ÈJý~Lß.§™KÔ1¦ÅÓ"k’¦2c‡$Ó͵_>%4ª_¢¹ TvͅQ ¤5Sò¬½7ËtTò¬@$ÿ°¾Ôc57[ðÕ|I=Àú%A>_t› Ã`Q1n¦îÂ(Ù _D…æùV~µ?ŒV¾Ù>/HÒ¿âú5EE ~Ÿå@]1n®úy9¨~ÁõœëûRn€Ùˆ/¤”­

ߎÕËÓè¿@ÍF|!µÊi7àìš"¤ß However, if i use JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfFile(jasperPrint,"c:\\test.pdf"); i got the pdf nicely, but it save into my local, which does not serve my need. So what is the correct way to stream a pdf? i want to do it like a popup message to let me download the pdf. Thanks in advance.
