I want to display a PDF file in browser. I have the path to the pdf in JS and I am making a call to grab the PDF as a servlet from java. Here's what I have so far:
JavaScript:
RequestManager.getJSON(Config.server + getPDF.json?pdfPath= + this.pathToPdfFile, (function(data){
$(# + this.divId).append('<object id=' + this.pdfObjectId + ' data=' + data + ' type=application/pdf width=600 height=800></object>');
ResizeManager.addResizeHandler(this.pdfObjectId, this.divId, -10, -10);
}).bind(this));
Java:
@RequestMapping(/getPDF)
public void pdfPathToServlet(Model model, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
{
String pdfPath = request.getParameter(pdfPath);
if (pdfPath == null || pdfPath.equals())
throw new ServletException(Invalid or non-existent file parameter in UrlServlet servlet.);
if (pdfPath.indexOf(.pdf) == -1)
pdfPath += .pdf;
File pdf = new File(pdfPath);
String pdfName = pdfPath.substring(pdfPath.lastIndexOf(/) + 1, pdfPath.length());
logger.debug(pdfName);
ServletOutputStream stream = null;
BufferedInputStream buf = null;
try
{
stream = response.getOutputStream();
response.setContentType(application/pdf);
response.setHeader(Content-Disposition, inline; filename=' + pdfName + ');
FileInputStream input = new FileInputStream(pdf);
response.setContentLength((int) pdf.length());
buf = new BufferedInputStream(input);
int readBytes = 0;
while ((readBytes = buf.read()) != -1)
stream.write(readBytes);
}
catch (IOException ioe)
{
throw new ServletException(ioe.getMessage());
}
finally
{
if (stream != null)
stream.close();
if (buf != null)
buf.close();
}
}
My problem is that this is showing the binary output in my browser as text.
I'm not sure what I am doing incorrectly. I have tried changing the header to be attachment instead of inline, but that showed the same thing. I believe I want inline though, as I wish to show it in browser and not download it.
