public abstract class AbstractPdfView

extends AbstractView

Abstract superclass for PDF views, using Bruno Lowagie's iText package. Application-specific view classes will extend this class. The view will be held in such a subclass, not a template such as a JSP.
See Expert One-On-One J2EE Design and Development by Rod Johnson, pp 571-575 for an example of use of this class.
NB: Internet Explorer requires a .pdf extension, as it doesn't always respect the declared content type.
Exposes page width and height as bean properties.

Constructor Detail

AbstractPdfView

public AbstractPdfView()

Sets the appropriate content type. Note that IE won't take much notice of this, but there's not a lot we can do about this. Generated documents should have a ".pdf" extension.
