Question

i am working with struts2 and using itext for generating Pdf file.
But my PDF file name are static. i have set file name in struts.xml(Code given below).

 <action name="form12PdfReport" class="plantHR.Form12PdfReport" method="form12PdfReport">
        <interceptor-ref name="myStack" />
         <result name="success" type="stream">
            <param name="contentType">application/pdf</param>
            <param name="inputName">inputStream</param>
            <param name="contentDisposition">filename="form12PdfReport.pdf"</param>
            <param name="bufferSize">1024</param>
        </result>
     </action> 

Can i set filename=”anyFilename” dynamically from action class??

Thanx in advance.

Answer 1

Sure.

In your class, define a private properties with its getter:

private String pdfFileName;

public String getPdfFileName(){
   return pdfFileName;
}

then set is in the execute() method;

and instead of

<param name="contentDisposition">filename="form12PdfReport.pdf"</param>

write

<param name="contentDisposition">filename="${pdfFileName}.pdf"</param>
