print a report (client side)

[Michael Houlo]

Hello,

I tryed to export a report to .pdf in this way :

JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfFile(jasperPrint, "location/report.pdf");

It looks like java was trying to save the file into the client side.. i had to use

byte[] bytes = JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdf(jasperPrint);
response.setContentLength(bytes.length);

to allow the client to download the file..

Now, i want to allow him to Print the report..
I use

JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, parameters, db.getConn());
JasperPrintManager.printReport(jasperPrint,true);

In local mode, it works.. I have a msg box dialog allowing me to choose which printer i want to use.
But when i try to implement it, it doesn't work anymore.. it just keeps loading and nothing happens.
I guess he s trying to print in the server side ..

How can I allow the client to print the report ?
Is my reasoning good ?

I hope my english isn't THAT bad :$
Any answer will be appreciated
