    a4j:mediaOutput non working with Trinidad on pdf objects

      Hi, I tried this simple page while using Trinidad + Facelets + Ajax4jsf:

      <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<tr:document
 xmlns:tr="http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad"
 xmlns:a4j="https://ajax4jsf.dev.java.net/ajax">

 <a4j:mediaOutput element="object" cacheable="false" session="true"
 value="logo-simple.pdf" createContent="#{testBean.paint}"
 mimeType="application/pdf"/>
</tr:document>

      where testBean is a session-scoped bean like this: 
      public class TestBean {
 public void paint(OutputStream out, Object data)
 throws IOException {
 if (data instanceof String) {
 InputStream file =
 FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().
 getExternalContext().
 getResourceAsStream((String)data);
 int size = file.available();
 byte[] pdf = new byte[size];
 file.read(pdf);
 file.close();
 out.write(pdf);
 }
 }
}

      there are no errors and a proper object tag is rendered together with its data uri attribute, but:
      - in IE 6/7 method "paint" is never called. Even using an unexisting method gives no error and no contents.
      - in FF 2.0, method "paint" is called twice, but contents are not rendered on the page and the Adobe plugin does not appear.
      Any idea ?
