Hi,I am creating pdf document using jasper report and i need to stream that pdf document from servlet.Can anyone help me where i did mistake.This is the code snippet which i am using in my application.

ServletOutputStream servletOutputStream = response.getOutputStream();

String fileName="test.pdf";

response.setContentType("application/pdf");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=\"" + fileName + "\"");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
try
{
        Map parameters = new HashMap();
        parameters.put("SUBREPORT_DIR", JasperReportFilepath);
        parameters.put("TestId", testID);

        JasperPrint jprint=JasperFillManager.fillReport(filePath, parameters, conn);

        byte[] output=JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdf(jprint);            
        System.out.println("Size====>"+output.length);

        servletOutputStream.write(output);

Answer 1

You'd better use:

JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfStream(jprint, servletOutputStream);
