There's no way that I know, short of reloading the entire webapp (which
is probably no what you want to do).

Another option would be to generate the content into a directory outside
your webapp (which is a good idea, anyway, since reloading the webapp
from a WAR would probably delete your generated content) and serve the
files yourself using a simple servlet that serves files out of a
particular directory.

There is full code for such a servlet that was posted (by me!) to the
list within the last 7 days or so with the subject "displaying an image
from outside the webapps directory". Check it out.

It should be. You must have something else going on that is not working.

Well, what did you expect? ;)

| 1) Generate the pdf report (working fine)
| 2) Create a ByteArrayOutputStream with it (working fine)
| 3) Show it to be downloaded by the user (not working)

Which browser? Displaying in the browser window, or forcing a download?
It could even be a browser issue, especially if you are using Adobe's
PDF plug-in and Mozilla Firefox -- they don't play well together for
some reason.

| This code is located on a managed bean. The method is invoked when a
| h:commandButton is pressed. That's why I return a String.

Ugh. Do you mean EJB? <sigh>

| Hope you guys can help me now.

I'm sure we can, but it might take some time. Be patient with us ;)

| Sorry for the English.

Your English is just fine. I hope we're not using too many phrases that
don't translate very well.
