    How to avoid this IlligalStateException

    seamworker

      Error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Servlet response already use Writer, OutputStream not possible


      xhtml code:


       <body>   
           <object data="#{docManager.showPDF()}" type="application/pdf" />   
       </body>




      manager code:


      public void showPDF() throws IOException
      {
         HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse)facesContext.getExternalContext().getResponse();
         response.setContentType(docMimeType);
         response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + doc.getDocumentNumber()+".pdf");
      
         OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();  // Error on executing this line
      
      }



      how best we can deal with scenario like this?

          Hi,


          maybe something like this works better..
                         


          
          @In Manager manager;
          
          ....
          
          DocumentData data = new ByteArrayDocumentData("report",
                                   new DocumentData.DocumentType("pdf", "application/pdf"),
                                   pdf);
          DocumentStore documentStore = DocumentStore.instance();
          String docId = documentStore.newId();
          documentStore.saveData(docId, data);
          
          String documentUrl = documentStore.preferredUrlForContent(data
                                   .getBaseName(), data.getDocumentType().getExtension(),
                                   docId);
          facesContext.getExternalContext().redirect(
                                   manager.encodeConversationId(documentUrl, null));
          // Don't process the reposne
          facesContext.responseComplete();

          P.S: This is explained in the doc AND in the SIA book.

              Hi,


              You don't have to do anything especial. Put the peice of code in a bean (as the mentioned method) and Seam will take care of the rest for you.

                Yes, I understood what you have meant.


                Now I am able to see the desired link






                String documentUrl = documentStore.preferredUrlForContent(data.getBaseName(), data.getDocumentType().getExtension(),
                                                                                        docId);
                
                
                I have got the addressbar like this: context/docstore/*document.seam*?docId=1&cid=2
                
                
                
                but when I debugged data.getBaseName() = "report" and data.getDocumentType().getExtension() = "pdf"
                So I am expecting adress bar to be like this:  context/docstore/*report.pdf*?docId=1&cid=2
                
                Is it what documentStore.preferredUrlForContent(...) is supposed to do?

                  Hi,


                  the piece of code is an idea how you can send a binary (PDF) to the browser, it's part of our application which creates PDF's on the fly. Off-course you need additional work to get it working in your situation. If your PDF in on another server and avilable as a URL, you could include it in your page. PrimeFaces has a neat component to create an overlay (LightBox) which in its IFrame mode enables you to show an external resource.

                  P.S. Please read the docs carefully and look in this forum.

                    yes, I read it now. documentStore.preferredUrlForContent() is not working as intended.


                    That's what I mean to ask in the above post.

                      Hello Leo,


                      I have been through DocumentSource source file and understood how the method documentStore.preferredUrlForContent() behaves.
                      After that I configured every thing required to have customDocumentName.pdf.


                      So I am able embed the PDF object into xhtml.
                      Thank you for the valuable help.

                          Step #1.

                          <body>   
                          <object data=''#{docManager.showPDF()}'' type=''application/pdf'' />
                           </body>

                           

                           

                          Step #2.

                          //The following Path includes context path as the URL accessed in a new tab.
                          // ''/docStore/'' routes request to Document Store Servlet 
                          String documentUrl = documentStore.preferredUrlForContent(request.getContextPath()+''/docStore/''+data.getBaseName(), data.getDocumentType().getExtension(),docId);
                          facesContext.getExternalContext().redirect(
                             manager.encodeConversationId(documentUrl,null));
                          // Don't process the response
                          facesContext.responseComplete();

                           

                          Step #3.

                          <servlet> 
                            <servlet-name>Document Store Servlet</servlet-name> 
                            <servlet-class>org.jboss.seam.document.DocumentStoreServlet</servlet-class> 
                           </servlet> 
                           <servlet-mapping> 
                            <servlet-name>Document Store Servlet</servlet-name> 
                            <url-pattern>/docStore/*</url-pattern> 
                           </servlet-mapping>

                            Thanks. So this gets the data from the remote site?

                            I read the code for Documentstore and I see that it stores it in a hashmap

                            So we have to store it first like Leo said?

                            Do we have to do these steps?

                             


                            DocumentData data = new ByteArrayDocumentData("report",
                                                     new DocumentData.DocumentType("pdf", "application/pdf"),
                                                     pdf);
                            DocumentStore documentStore = DocumentStore.instance();
                            String docId = documentStore.newId();
                            documentStore.saveData(docId, data);

                             

                            becuse i have the pdf in a remote location just like you, I am trying to get it. I can''t access it this way.

                             

                            Thanks

                              Here is the full code in my application for exporting the a document:


                              HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)facesContext.getExternalContext().getRequest();

                              InputStream in = fileShareManager.getDocAsStream(doc.getId(),DOC_ADDR_QUERY);
                              String docMimeType = EXT_MIME_MAP.getProperty(fileShareManager.getFileExtension());
                                 
                                 DocumentData data = new ByteArrayDocumentData(doc.getDocumentNumber()+''_''+doc.getVersion(),
                              new DocumentData.DocumentType(fileShareManager.getFileExtension(), docMimeType),
                              getByteArrayFromStream(in)
                              );
                                 
                                 DocumentStore documentStore = DocumentStore.instance();
                                 documentStore.setUseExtensions(true);

                                 documentStore.saveData( docId, data);
                                 
                                 //The following Path includes context path as the URL accessed in a new tab.
                                 // ''/docStore/'' routes request to Document Store Servlet 
                                 String documentUrl = documentStore.preferredUrlForContent(request.getContextPath()+''/docStore/''+data.getBaseName(), data.getDocumentType().getExtension(),docId);
                                 facesContext.getExternalContext().redirect(
                                  manager.encodeConversationId(documentUrl,null));
                                 // Don't process the response
                                 facesContext.responseComplete();

                                  Step 1: in source xhtml where you invoke the "show PDF" call

                                  notice that we request for showPDF.xhtml

                                   

                                  <s:link view=''/docs/showPdf.xhtml'' target=''_blank'' rendered=''#{_doc.documentType != 'Set of documents (SD)' and _doc.valid}''>
                                        <f:param name=''pdfTitle'' value=''#{_doc.documentNumber}_#{_doc.version}''/>
                                        <f:param name=''pdfId'' value=''#{_doc.id}''/>
                                        <h:graphicImage value=''/img/bosch/adobe.gif'' title=''#{messages.showPDF}'' style=''width : 15px; height : 15px;''/>
                                  </s:link>
                                  

                                   

                                   

                                  Step 2: showPdf.xhtml  : The object tag generates http request for the dynamic PDF stream.

                                   <head>
                                     <title>#{docViewManager.pdfTitle}</title>
                                     <link rel=''shortcut icon'' href=''favicon.ico'' type=''image/x-icon''/>
                                  </head>
                                  <body>   
                                  <object data=''#{docManager.showPDF()}'' type=''application/pdf'' />
                                    
                                  </body>
                                  </ui:composition>
                                  
                                  

                                   

                                  Step 3. showPDF functionality I have posted above which makes redirective call to load the stream.
