I am trying to generate a pdf download file. I have the following code to generate pdf from xml and xsl-fo. Can anyone point me what I am missing in my code. When I open the pdf, it says corrupted and if I open that file using notepad++ all is see is [B@4bf24bf2 in the file.
public void generatePDF(ResourceRequest resourceRequest, ResourceResponse resourceResponse) throws IOException {
PortletContext portletContext = resourceRequest.getPortletSession().getPortletContext();
URL url = portletContext.getResource("/WEB-INF/xsd/xsl-fo.xsl");
File xsltfile = new File(url.getPath());
StreamSource source = new StreamSource(new File(portletContext.getResource("/WEB-INF/xsd/service.xml").getPath()));
StreamSource transformSource = new StreamSource(xsltfile);
// Construct FopFactory
FopFactory fopFactory = FopFactory.newInstance();
FOUserAgent foUserAgent = fopFactory.newFOUserAgent();
// Create ByteArrayOutputStream
ByteArrayOutputStream outStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
// Setup JAXP using identity transformer
TransformerFactory tfactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer xslfoTransformer;
try {
xslfoTransformer = tfactory.newTransformer(transformSource); // identity transformer
Fop fop;
try {
// Construct fop with desired output format
fop = fopFactory.newFop(MimeConstants.MIME_PDF, foUserAgent, outStream);
Result res = new SAXResult(fop.getDefaultHandler());
try {
xslfoTransformer.transform(source, res);
byte[] pdfBytes = outStream.toByteArray();
resourceResponse.setContentLength(pdfBytes.length);
resourceResponse.setContentType("application/pdf");
resourceResponse.addProperty("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=fleetevents.pdf");
resourceResponse.getWriter().print(pdfBytes);
resourceResponse.getWriter().flush();
} catch (TransformerException exception ) {
logger.log(Level.SEVERE, exception.getMessage(), exception);
}
} catch (FOPException fopException) {
logger.log(Level.SEVERE, fopException.getMessage(), fopException);
}
} catch(TransformerConfigurationException exception) {
logger.log(Level.SEVERE, exception.getMessage(), exception);
} catch(TransformerFactoryConfigurationError exception) {
logger.log(Level.SEVERE, exception.getMessage(), exception);
}
}
My sample xml

UPDATE
I think I got it, I need to use resourceResponse.getPortletOutputStream().write(pdfBytes);
resourceResponse.getPortletOutputStream().flush(); instead of resourceResponse.getWriter().print(pdfBytes); resourceResponse.getWriter().flush();
