mediaOutput + firefox 2 and firefox 3 on apple

[magiccreative]

The following snippet, generated by a rich:mediaOutput component:

<object height="700" width="100%" id="xxxxx:xxxxxx" data="/xxxxxxx/a4j/s/3_3_0.GAorg.ajax4jsf.resource.UserResource/n/n/-1248334925/DATA/eAGFkj9rFUEUxW8Wg!EfqE8UCzEmoiAyC0kkRQwIKiq8NeIaIaa6b!fuZpfZmcnM7Mti0M5GwcbWzlYb!QS2AZt8BkFEBBHE1pl5QUkap7vDnXN-99x5-x3GjYZLUpcMa-zmalMwTUa2OiO2bEjf3ynOL-vqBloEf3pXvkWwrw9HMk1o6boUloS1cLxf4xBjjqKMlwY1ZXahD!upU5XTXIenMNaHiUbmVVFRvlOPD5G3FIpOOZYLXqJjBWZkWCYbJYXTZql1Rrclz0mnOCS9svVh8dXrT0kEUR8OZByNuYsN7WZIra5E6RgOGvcmDxoWTo4oKxmnpCvk1WMccFrolLe!6CyZaUUA4GQNI84eYJmQXZP5zU65SUwlRcgBYOwwQKfh9Ajate7tex9vvfj8e-5lFPp6f!v-Kb159jz9-Wj7qu!wBOf8MuqBNMF6r96dRvHBj1O!Dn08lnhvH9zExjScnd5UeZGgwJI0K0mQdoHdywuXAWHzBKDV0FsNozO!IJdoCOfd9sMvX89s3gr2bqrIwglPySrJllqrWjtSsHA0XIe3o-Uq1W2swkpsLLWkW1FmWewg!HfQkicyR866NdvwyWuzs5fnZyZ3fZfFqf8gT7mNqD!hZeoc" type="application/pdf"/>

, is functioning perfect under firefox 3/xp. It functions even under ie6/xp. However when I try it with mac with firefox 3 or firefox 2/xp it won't work.

Any ideas for such exotic behaviour are welcome :).

P.S. Doublechecked that the Adobe Reader plugin is installed and used:
document.getElementById('DocForm:pdfOut').type='application/pdf', still not working under firefox 2 or mac.

Alternatively does anyone know a better way to display a generated pdf on a web page?

The generation is done with jasper reports. Currently the report is provided as output stream, which is fed into the rich:mediaOutput component.

I would like to have the pdf embedded on a modal panel because I have additional controls attached to it. For that reason a solution with iframe is not acceptable.

After many attempts with mediaOutput, I finally do it using mojarra scales.

I hope this can help you.

thanks, I will look into this possibility

after a small loader conflict I managed to run the Mojarra Scales. My goal was to use the sc:download component to make a link which will open a download dialog and user can open the pdf with some acrobat reader or anything he has installed.

The problem is I have the pdf as OutputStream. And the download component needs byte[].

problem solved, thanks for the help Alespio.
