Hi,
i tried to display an pdf file with mediaout. I do it this way.
<a4j:mediaOutput cacheable="false" session="true" createContent="#
{painter.paint}" element="object" mimeType="application/pdf" value="RichFaces-Jay.pdf"></a4j:mediaOutput>
and the paint method is this one :
public void paint(OutputStream out, Object data)
throws IOException {
if(breakPoint){
String fileName=(String)data;
String filePath="C:\\pdfFiles";
File f=new File(filePath, fileName);
_logger.info("I am trying to display "+data);
byte[] buf = getBytesFromFile(f);
FileInputStream inStream = new FileInputStream(f);
inStream.read(buf);
inStream.close();
out.write(buf);
out.close();
breakPoint = false;
}
}
The paint method is called, the file is loaded but i can't see any output on the page. I tried the same way with an jpeg file and it works.
Is it impossible to display pdf files with mediaoutput?
Best regards
Kalomo
