java.lang.IllegalStateException at org.apache.coyote.tomcat5.CoyoteResponseFacade.setBufferSize

I have a Java application runnning on a Glassfish server using JSF 2.0.2.

at JSF level I have the following method call.

<h:commandLink action="#{printWB.doOpenVehicleToPrintInPDF}" target="_blank">Print</h:commandLink>

My method doOpenVehicleToPrintInPDF is defined as follows:

public String doOpenVehicleToPrintInPDF() {
    FacesContext ctxt = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) ctxt.getExternalContext().getResponse();       

    try {
        response.setContentType("application/pdf");
        response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + configUrl + ".pdf\"");

        final ServletOutputStream stream = response.getOutputStream();

        final VehiclePrintSummaryToPdf vehiclePrintPdf = new VehiclePrintSummaryToPdf(ctxt, summary);
        vehiclePrintPdf.createPdfDocument(stream, summary);
        stream.flush();
        Validate.isTrue(response.isCommitted());
        stream.close();
    } catch (Exception ex) {
       LOG.error("Error in PDF print processing!", ex);            
    }
    return null;
}

The method is called, the PDF is generated (using the itext library) and afterwards the exception below is thrown. I've debugged this and the exception comes after the return null;

Any hint what is wrong here and how to avoid this exception?

Thanks in advance.

If you are generating the content yourself in a action method then you should signal to the jsf implementation that you did so. This should be done by calling responseComplete on the FacesContext.

The JSF lifecycle is attempting to write to a closed stream during its render phase. To prevent this, you must call responseComplete() on the FacesContext.
