在Liferay Portlet中显示链接PDF

Question

Objective: open PDF link outside local network within Liferay Portlet. I can display PDF within portlet using window.open. PDF is downloaded from internal DB server and displayed outside network. Passing link from one JSP (that uses serveResourse to get link from DB and display it in the portlet) to another JSP "showPDF.jsp". The code works upon until ServletOutputStream pdfout = response.getOutputStream(); where it generates errors. Why do I have these errors?

Answer 1

You want to combine text and binary in the same response and that's not possible (please refer to ServletResponse documentation http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/servlet/ServletResponse.html#getWriter%28%29 ). All it says is that getWriter (used to send text) was already called on the response. That's why you cannot invoke getOutputStream that's used for binary data. Probably because you have this script on the top of the page which is rendered by JSP engine implicitly as text. There is many good responses to this problem already, check the following:

1. getOutputStream() has already been called for this response
2. Servlets in java - both getWriter() and getOutputStream()
3. How do I use getOutputStream() and getWriter() in the same servlet request?
4. etc. search stackoverflow for: getwriter getoutputstream
