Anyone who knows how to stream a PDF document back to the user from a backing bean using the new jboss portlet bridge?

Code? yes:)

public void generateReport(ActionEvent e) {

 System.out.println("Generate a report");

 // read file
 System.out.println("Loading report file...");
 ClassLoader classLoader = this.getClass().getClassLoader();
 InputStream inputStream = classLoader.getResourceAsStream("ReceivedFromAndSentTo.pdf");

 // get access to the response
 FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
 RenderResponse renderResponse = (RenderResponse) fc.getExternalContext().getResponse(); // Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.jboss.portlet.JBossActionResponse
 renderResponse.setContentType("application/pdf");

 // write file to response
 try {
 OutputStream os = renderResponse.getPortletOutputStream();
 int nextChar;
 while ((nextChar = inputStream.read()) != -1) {
 os.write(nextChar);
 }
 inputStream.close();
 } catch (IOException ex) {
 Logger.getLogger(ReportsBean.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
 }
 FacesContext faces = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
 faces.responseComplete();
 }

The problem with this code is that you're not getting back a RenderResponse from the ExternalContext, you're getting a org.jboss.portlet.JBossActionResponse. I'm not sure how to cast it to a RenderResponse as long as I don't have access to the class from a maven repo.

Any other better/preferred way of achiving the thing I want?

Best regards,
Viggo
