Jasper Report PDF does not open

Question

I am trying to build a sample web application which loads a pdf report generated through jasper reports (.jasper file). However the report does not open as a pdf with the message "This PDF document might not be displayed correctly". The code snippets are as below. There is no exception log coming in the server log. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Servlet Controller Class

@WebServlet("/generateReport")
public class JasperReportsExample extends HttpServlet{

    final String deviceJasper = "SampleReport.jasper";
    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws IOException, ServletException {
    response.setContentType("application/pdf");
    response.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
    try{
    List<SampleReportBean> sampleReportBeanList = new ArrayList<SampleReportBean>();
    SampleReportBean bean = new SampleReportBean();
    bean.setName("Hello");
    sampleReportBeanList.add(bean);
    InputStream is = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(deviceJasper);
    JasperReport jasperReport = (JasperReport) JRLoader.loadObject(is);
    JRBeanCollectionDataSource beanCollectionDataSource = new JRBeanCollectionDataSource(sampleReportBeanList);
    Map<String, Object> parameters = new HashMap<String, Object>();
    JasperPrint jasperPrint = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, parameters, beanCollectionDataSource);
    JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfFile(jasperPrint, deviceJasper);
    }catch(Exception e) {
        System.out.println("Error:while creating jasper report....");
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    }

}
