problem showing pdf as text/plain with resourcereader

[joao tiago a. m. viegas]

Hello everyone,

i'm having this problem where i want to read static pdf files in the server and "supply" them to the browser for being read by the acrobat pdf plugin. The plugin always complains about it being a text/plain file.
I'm using the default resource reader and specifying the mime-type, just like in the user documentation, strictly by the book.
I've seen this message thread which states that it is something that is not yet implemented, but it was 6 years ago:
http://www.mail-archive.com/users@.../msg04668.html

the cocoon version is 2.1 on a centos 5.
Do you have any information regarding this question?

Best Regards
joão tiago viegas

For analysis you could check with Firefox Add-on Live HTTP Headers [1]  
whether the HTTP response headers are sent correctly to the browser.

Thank you very much Alexander,

i've discovered with LiveHTTPHeaders addon that the content-length is = 0 !!!

the pipeline section is this:

                <map:act type="invoice-save-action">
                        <map:select type="parameter">
                        <map:parameter name="parameter-selector-test" value="{savepdf}"/>
                        <map:when test="1">
                                <map:serialize type="invoice2filesys">
                                        <map:parameter name="path" value="{path}"/>
                                        <map:parameter name="file" value="{file}"/>
                                </map:serialize>
                                 <map:read type="resource" src="{path}/{file}" mime-type="application/pdf" />
                        </map:when>
                        <map:otherwise>
                                <map:serialize type="fo2pdf"/>
                        </map:otherwise>

                        </map:select>
        </map:act>


it tests if it's desired to save the file in the filesystem, and if so, saves it (it does gets saved allright though), but the reader simply does not work!

i'm I overlooking something here?

Your pipeline is done so it will not reach

But you could change it into some flowscript function call that handles the saving and then responds with the PDF.

Thank you very much Jasha,

that explains some questions i've had.

But can't i do a redirection within my serializer implementer code, or it just ends in there and no more processing is done in the pipeline?

You could solve it with flowscript.

function writeandread() {

cocoon.processPipelineTo("pipelineThatWritesTheFile", NullOutputStream); // executes the pipeline that does the writing, but does not return a response

cocoon.sendPage("pipelineThatReadsTheFile"); // executes the pipeline with the map:read for the newly created file and sends the response to the browser

You don't have to use XSP if you use flowscript for your logic. I've never used XSP because it has been a bit outdated for a while but some people still like using it.

Yes there won't be much logic involved. See http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/flow/index.html for more info about flow.

...err...wait, but thinking about it,

alll i have to do is to embed the javascript and use the cocoon object in the request invocation, right?

You don't have to use XSP if you use flowscript for your logic. I've never used XSP because it has been a bit outdated for a while but some people still like using it.

thank you Jasha,
i did never use it  but i'll have a go with flowscript, i'll read the docs and say something later.
I presume i have to change the xsp file, right?

You could solve it with flowscript.

function writeandread() {

cocoon.processPipelineTo("pipelineThatWritesTheFile", NullOutputStream); // executes the pipeline that does the writing, but does not return a response

cocoon.sendPage("pipelineThatReadsTheFile"); // executes the pipeline with the map:read for the newly created file and sends the response to the browser

}

Thank you very much Jasha,

that explains some questions i've had.

But can't i do a redirection within my serializer implementer code, or it just ends in there and no more processing is done in the pipeline?

After

<map:serialize type="invoice2filesys">
                                        <map:parameter name="path" value="{path}"/>
                                        <map:parameter name="file" value="{file}"/>
                                </map:serialize>

Your pipeline is done so it will not reach

                                 <map:read type="resource" src="{path}/{file}" mime-type="application/pdf" />

But you could change it into some flowscript function call that handles the saving and then responds with the PDF.

Thank you very much Alexander,

i've discovered with LiveHTTPHeaders addon that the content-length is = 0 !!!

the pipeline section is this:

                <map:act type="invoice-save-action">
                        <map:select type="parameter">
                        <map:parameter name="parameter-selector-test" value="{savepdf}"/>
                        <map:when test="1">
                                <map:serialize type="invoice2filesys">
                                        <map:parameter name="path" value="{path}"/>
                                        <map:parameter name="file" value="{file}"/>
                                </map:serialize>
                                 <map:read type="resource" src="{path}/{file}" mime-type="application/pdf" />
                        </map:when>
                        <map:otherwise>
                                <map:serialize type="fo2pdf"/>
                        </map:otherwise>

                        </map:select>
        </map:act>


it tests if it's desired to save the file in the filesystem, and if so, saves it (it does gets saved allright though), but the reader simply does not work!

i'm I overlooking something here?

I'm using the default resource reader and specifying the mime-type, just like in the user documentation, strictly by the book.

For analysis you could check with Firefox Add-on Live HTTP Headers [1] whether the HTTP response headers are sent correctly to the browser.

Hello again,

i've read the example at the documentation about flow
and coded a javascript function in order to process a dicument and after it reading it,

function invoicecontroller()

}

...the problem is that the page answer is

Sorry,
i've sent erroneously the previous message, i'll finish it now;

so...

i've read the example at the documentation about flow
and coded a javascript function in order to process a document and after it reading it,

function invoicecontroller()
{
   processPipelineTo("

invoicecreator", null);
   sendPage("filereader");
}

...the problem is that the page answer is

"processPipelineTo" is not defined

...and even the "sendPage" call, i must do it without referencing it through the cocoon (cocoon.sendPage())object otherwise i won't get it to work.

I must be lacking something here, do you have an idea?
