Thanks for the response. I am setting the content type to "application/pdf".
It also does not seem to matter if I include the x=dummy.pdf parameter or not.
It still works the same. The first time it attempts the download, the next
time works like a charm.

Subject: Servlet File Download dialog problem (IE6,Adobe 6.0)
I'm new to FOP. I'm trying to dynamically create a PDF from a struts web
application. In my action bean I execute a JSP URL that returns the FOP xml.
I take the return stream and place it into a reader and then pass it to
renderFO method from the example servlet.
This seems to work like I want it to. However, I'm running into an issue with
IE. Whenever I input the URL for my action bean, the first time through I get
the "File Download window". The file type is "Adobe Acrobat Control for
ActiveX". If I cancel and then resubmit the very same URL, the PDF is
displayed.
I have read the FAQ and several messages about problems with IE but have not
run across my exact problem. In them they say to include a dummy.pdf at the
end of the URL. And to include a PDF extension as part of the base URL. I
have done both but still have the issue.
I have tried various URLs including:
....IncidentPDFPath.do?incidentSID=123245&x=dummy.pdf
....IncidentPDFPath.pdf?incidentSID=123245&x=dummy.pdf
With the same results.
The funny thing is the second time I submit the URL from the browser it works.
If I open a new browser and submit it I get the "File Download" window again
the first time. The second time from the same browser the PDF is displayed.
Thanks for any help.
