I am making a rest API call using Angular. My Rest API look like as below:
@RequestMapping(value = "/getPDF/{projectId}", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public ResponseEntity<byte[]> generateReport(@PathVariable("projectId") long projectId, @RequestBody Object vo, final HttpServletRequest request) {
vo.setProjectId(projectId);
byte[] pdf = blueprintService.generateBluePrint(vo);
LOG.debug(new StringBuilder("Generating Blueprint for VO: ").append(vo).toString());
String fileName = null;
try {
ProjectDetailsVO pdvo = projectSetupService.getProjectDetails(vo.getProjectId());
fileName = new StringBuilder(pdvo.getClientName()).append("_")
.append(pdvo.getProjectName()).append("_")
.append(System.currentTimeMillis()).append(".pdf")
.toString();
} catch (Exception e) {
}
if (fileName == null || fileName.trim().isEmpty())
fileName = new StringBuilder("Project_")
.append(vo.getProjectId()).append("_")
.append(System.currentTimeMillis())
.append(".pdf").toString();
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.add("Content-Type", "application/pdf");
String userAgent = request.getHeader("User-Agent");
if (userAgent != null && !(userAgent.contains("Firefox") && userAgent.contains("Mac"))) {
LOG.debug("Inline BP Content");
headers.add("Content-Disposition", new StringBuilder("inline; filename=\"").append(fileName).append("\"").toString());
} else {
LOG.debug("Attached BP Content");
headers.add("Content-Disposition", new StringBuilder("attachment; filename=\"").append(fileName).append("\"").toString());
}
if (pdf != null)
headers.setContentLength(pdf.length);
return new ResponseEntity<byte[]>(pdf, headers, HttpStatus.OK);
}
}
So server is setting file name for the PDF which I want to be the name of the generated PDF.
I tried below angular code:
success: function (data, status, headers, config) {
$modalInstance.close();
var file = new Blob([data], {type: 'application/pdf'});
var fileURL = URL.createObjectURL(file);
window.open(fileURL);
}
It works fine but it open the pdf of it's own name. Which I think, since Angular is converting the response into PDF. Hence Headers are getting excluded.
Is there any way to make a post request so it will open a PDF in new browser tab some code like as below:
$http.post{
url: myRestURL,
data: postbodyData,
taget: _blank
}
which will open my rest URL in new tab and show the PDF in browser.
Thank you.
