Hi, we have a struts application to read the data and displaying a PDF file.
and we need to follow the process like in the following.

1) read the data from database and write into the PDF file.
2) store this file in a location (where ever it is)
3) on client side, when we call the particular action, the PDF file should open from the location.

I can store the file in a physical location, but I dont know how to grab that file from that place to display.

I can open the file, if the file is in server side
In the Struts-config.xml, I wrote like this and working


Here How to store the PDF file in the ("/pages/pdf") location, which is in server side?

You don't store it inside the web application. You store it somewhere else. Create a directory on the server specifically for storing the PDFs.

I would recommend looking into the Apache Commons Upload utility. Some Struts distros come with it as an example webapp.
