I'm using Struts2, Spring and Hibernate for my web app. Now, I'm trying to generate PDF reports with jasper reports struts plugin. I add the result-type to struts.xml file:
<result-types>
<result-type name="jasper" class="org.apache.struts2.views.jasperreports.JasperReportsResult" default="false"/>
</result-types>
Action definition:
<action name="vf" class="packaget.InvoiceAction" method="seeInvoice">
<result name="success" type="jasper">
<param name="location">/WEB-INF/reports/invoice.jasper</param>
<param name="dataSource">invoiceSource</param>
<param name="format">PDF</param>
<param name="contentDisposition">filename="Invoice.pdf</param>
<param name="documentName">Invoice.pdf</param>
<param name="reportParameters">invoiceParameters</param>
</result>
</action>
And here is my action class:
public class InvoiceAction extends BaseAction implements Preparable {
...
public String seeInvoice(){
List<Invoice> invoice= new ArrayList<Invoice>();
facturas.add(new Invoice());
invoiceParameters.put("message","test");
return SUCCESS;
}
}
I want to generate a download popup, I don't want to see the report in the browser.
How can I force this? contentDisposition
or documentName
params has no effect...
Thanks in advance.
You have to add "attachment" to the content disposition.
<param name="contentDisposition">attachment</param>
And remove the filename="Invoice.pdf". This param does the same as documentName. Using them together will duplicate this information in the HTTP response.
<param name="contentDisposition">filename="Invoice.pdf"</param>
