HTML tags from JSF written to pdf file

#26458

Hello,

I am trying to output the of a JSF page to a pdf file. The converted HTML tags from JSF pages are written to the pdf file instead of the contents.
Have been trying to resolve this for a while. Any help is very much appreciated.
My intend is to store the byteArray. Just to make sure the bytearray content is good, I am creating this temporay pdf file.

The content written to the pdf file is (Full file is not written, maybe buffer size issue):
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="

My code is

String sessionId = null;
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) getFacesContext().
getExternalContext().getRequest();
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) getFacesContext().
getExternalContext().getResponse();

Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies();
for (int i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
Cookie cookie = cookies[i];
if ("OFSE_JSESSIONID".equals(cookie.getName())) {
sessionId = cookie.getValue();
break;
}
}
StringBuffer url = new StringBuffer(request.getRequestURL());
String host = url.substring(0, url.indexOf("Review.faces"));
HttpURLConnection conn = null;
InputStream inputStream = null;
FileOutputStream os = null;
ByteArrayOutputStream bs = null;
Document document = null;
try {
URL printableSummaryPage = new URL(host.concat("PrintableReview.faces"));
conn = (HttpURLConnection) printableSummaryPage.openConnection();
conn.setUseCaches(false);
conn.setRequestProperty ("Content-Type","application/pdf");
conn.setRequestProperty("Cookie", "OFSE_JSESSIONID="+sessionId);
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.connect();
inputStream = conn.getInputStream();
bs = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int readCount = 0;
document = new Document();
os = new FileOutputStream(new File("c:\PdfTest\sample.pdf"));
PdfWriter w = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, os);
document.open();
while ((readCount = inputStream.read(buffer)) != -1) {
if (readCount < 1024) {
bs.write(buffer, 0, readCount);
} else {
bs.write(buffer);
}
document.add(new Paragraph(new String(buffer)));
}
document.close();

Thank you
