I am still attempting to figure out how to send an Itext generated pdf
Document to the browser.
I am looking at the following blog posting where someone is using jruby
and iText to create a pdf file and then sending it to the browser :
http://codersifu.blogspot.com/2007/06/howto-generate-pdf-files-in-ruby-on.html
Unlike the above example I am using only ruby / on rails.
I would like to do precisely this in ROR and I can get to the second
last line of the above blog (that is I can generate the document and
even the toByteArray or byte[] ). As in the example:
document.close // <<<--- I can get this document
send_data String.from_java_bytes(m.toByteArray),
:type=> "application/pdf",
:dispostion=>"inline"
// I can call the toByteArray and get the array of bytes byte[]
but I dont know how to send_data to the browser with the document and
byetarraystream available.
I try to do a byte[].toString() and send that to send_data but when I
get byte[].toString() from the java classes I get an error :
No Class DefFoundError (org/bouncycastle/asn1/ASN1OctetString)
Where to go from here?
From the blog : Is there an equivalent to String.from_java_bytes in
ruby?
