Display byte array of PDF in browser

[Sam Gehouse]

I am using a Servelt to display byte array of PDF into IE browser.

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws ServletException, IOException {

resp.setContentType("application/pdf");
resp.setHeader("Expires", "0");
resp.setHeader("Cache-Control","must-revalidate, post-check=0,
pre-check=0");
resp.setHeader("Pragma", "public");

byte[] inputBytes = MyTest.getBytesFromFile(new File("C:\\TR.pdf"));
ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

if(inputBytes !=null){
// inputBytes are not null, checked its correct size too.
outputStream.write(inputBytes);
}
outputStream.flush();
}

PDF does not displayed. There is already pdf file under C directory which I can manually open. inputBytes are not null, checked its size too.

Is there a better way to display pdf in browser from bytes?

Any help with code will be appreciated.

Please have a look at Notes on Microsoft Internet Explorer, its for FOP, but still you can use the tips for ur case.

No luck with code below:

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws ServletException, IOException {

resp.setContentType("application/pdf");
resp.setHeader("Expires", "0");
resp.setHeader("Cache-Control","must-revalidate, post-check=0,
pre-check=0");
resp.setHeader("Pragma", "public");
//from sam
resp.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache"); //HTTP 1.0
resp.setDateHeader("Expires", 0); //prevents caching at the proxy server
resp.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache"); //HTTP 1.1
resp.setHeader("Cache-Control", "max-age=0");

resp.setHeader("Content-disposition", "inline; filename=stuff.pdf");

byte[] inputBytes = MyTest.getBytesFromFile(new File("C:\\TR.pdf"));
ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

if(inputBytes !=null){
outputStream.write(inputBytes);
}
outputStream.flush();
}
