You can do like some thing like this.

        response.setContentType("application/pdf"); 
        InputStream in = new FileInputStream("answerconnect.pdf"); 
        OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream(); 
        byte[] buf = new byte[1024]; 
        int len; 
        while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) { 
            out.write(buf, 0, len); 
        } 
        in.close();

I don't think this is something you can control from your app, i think this is the matter of environment/browser/plugins that users are using... but zou can open new window for your pdf by javascript like this link

You can suggest to the browser that it should show the PDF in a window rather than offering to download it via the Content-Disposition header:

response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline");

The "inline" value suggests that the content be rendered inline (as opposed to the "attachment" value suggesting the browser offer to download it).

Once you've made the suggestion to the browser, the browser may or may not accept your suggestion, depending on its implementation and possibly its user preferences.
