Re: setting httpservletresponse output type and content

Just in case a future keeler comes across this, I thought I'd post my solution.

The key is the BinaryWrapper.  In the StrutsClientConnector, it checks
for a "type" = binary attribute for the output.  If so, it sets the
values, based on the output content being a BinaryWrapper and sends
the response.  Here is a code snip from my model:

<snip>
            //flush to the client...
            //by adding type=binary attribute to the output
            Output binreport = res.createOutput("thereport");
            binreport.setAttribute("type","binary");
            byte    mydata[];
            BASE64Decoder base64 = new BASE64Decoder();
            mydata = base64.decodeBuffer( report.getReportEncoded( "pdf") );

            BinaryWrapper bw = new BinaryWrapper();
            bw.setContent(mydata);
            bw.setContentType("application/pdf");
            binreport.setContent( bw );
            res.add(binreport);
