trying to display a .doc file

[mikeeprice]

Trying to display a an MS Word .doc file with

<s:link view="/CamdenPlanVSN-1.2-1-2-08.doc" styleClass="footerLink">
<h:outputText value="Camden Emergency Plan"/>
</s:link>

but get

description The requested resource (/cwe/CamdenPlanVSN-1.2-1-2-08.seam) is not available.

I can not find documentation telling how to display .doc files and other file types under Seam. For some reason it changes .doc to .seam on the file name.

I would also like to bring it up in a new window such as target="_blank".

Any suggestions, Thanks

I serve files out of the DB using a custom FileServlet, with code similar to the following:

response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + file.getFilename());
response.setContentType(file.getContentType());
response.setContentLength(file.getData().length);
response.getOutputStream().write(file.getData());
response.flushBuffer();

It sounds like you want to load yours from the filesystem, but it should be similar. The "Content-Disposition" header with value "attachment" makes it open the file in a new window.

What I am wondering is why doesn't

mydoc

where mydoc.doc is an MSword file, work in my Seam application?

it says that mydoc.seam is not available. I don't understand Seam well enough to know why it is replacing .doc with .seam.

What I did to make this work is create a separate war file from my Seam application that had an html page with <a ref statements in it and Then I would link to that page from my Seam application pages. I think there is something I don't understand about Seam because I don't think I should have to do this.

I think I should be able to do <s:link view="mydoc.doc" value="mydoc"/> and a window with the MS Word file should pop up just like it normally does in a non Seam application.

I forgot to disable html in previous post

mydoc should be mydoc

[mikeeprice]

Well I guess I don't undertstand how to display html in a post.

maybe "<"a href="mydoc.doc">mydoc" will make it work

Use

<a href="mydoc.doc" />

not s:link
