Hi Friends,

This is a class which is used to generate pdf. But actually it is storing in a particular hard disk location. My requirement is "it has to display on the screen" and at same time it should store in database also. waiting for your valueable suggestions.

Shyam,
It sounds like you have two requirements. You can do both, just one at a time within the code.

1) To write to database - use a BLOB and store it in the database through JDBC
2) To display on screen - Are you using a web browser, Java application, etc?

I see you've asked this question in another thread. In the future, please do not cross post.
