Hello anand,

hum... the code here does not write anything on the disk

It's called a file and a file can be basically anywhere(memory, http, ftp... or hard drive )

hello sven,
i'm not used to mac systems but i can tell you I usually resolve all the accents problems (for european languages) by using ISO-8859-15 (or ISO-8859-1 if the first is not supported)

Hope it helps

did you think about asynchronous generation?
prehaps a small cardinality of the reports being generated can allow this way of optimizing the response time

i didn't really get how you managed to output a pdf directly from the jsp, but however

it's a kinda usual problem with IE. It chooses what to to whith response based on its extension rather than the mime type.

try just adding cheating parameter at the end of the url of the PDF

http://<url_to_the_pdf>&dummy=.pdf

Hope it helps

how do you "implicitly" import a class in your jsp?
without an import tag for the specific class, it won't work

I know google check your user agent ...
try something like this
URLConnection urlconnection = yahoo.openConnection();
urlconnection.setRequestProperty("User-Agent",
"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)");
