Try writing the file to the ServletOutputStream of your response. :roll:

If you know the name and location of the pdf on the server, and if that is in the webapp on your server, then you can probably use a frame in your JSP, and try to give the name and location of the pdf in the source attribute of the frame tag.
This will force the pdf to open inside the browser.
Hope this helps !!
