How to Display a pdf document in a web page(Not seprately,just Inside the webpage) using jsp or servlet?

You need to use the <object> or <embed> tag to contain the adobe reader and point to your pdf file.

something like: <embed src="YourFile.pdf" width="500" height="375">

another answer here: EMBED vs. OBJECT

You need to set the content type for this on response. call response.setContentType("aplication/pdf"); before writing anything to stream.
