Hi all,
In my app I generate PDFs dinamically , How can I to show them to user
?, I've thought about creating a temporary file in a directory in web
server and set the url in a Browser control, but I don't know if exists
another way more correct or elegant.
Do you know if it is planned the possibility to set binary content to a
Browser widget in SWT/RAP ?
Thanks in advance.
Roberto.

There are no plans to allow to set binary content in the browser widget.
Apart from possible problems that the PDF reader plug-in may cause when
running in an IFRAME, the way you intend to go should do it.
Cheers

Thank you Markus for your help, Next stage in my app is to create PDFs
and let user to download it, but I'm not sure about the way to follow if
I find any other solution/approach I'll post it here.
Regards.

Hi Markus,
Would you mind briefly explaining how you got your servlet to stream a
file to the browser widget?
Thanks,
Mike
