Cannot run a jsp a second time in WebLogic Portal 10.3

Question

I have an index.jsp that has bunch of links that build pdfs.
here's the code from the jsp that builds the links
<netui:anchor action="openDocumentForView" target="new">view
     <netui:parameter value="${container.index}" name="id"/>
<netui:parameter value="${container.item.documentType}" name="type"/>
<netui:parameter value="${container.item.imageToken}" name="imageToken"/>
<netui:parameter value="${container.item.tokenId}" name="
</netui:anchor>
the idea is that it opens a new window and streams a pdf.
The action in the jpf does the forward like this
     URI uri = new URI("showImage.jsp");
     System.out.println("uri = " + uri.toString());
     return new Forward(uri, true);
the showImage.jsp looks like this:
<%@ page import="java.io.*, java.util.*"%>
<%
System.out.println("showImage.jsp ran....");
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
byte[] pdf = (byte[]) request.getSession(false).getAttribute("imageObject");
request.getSession(false).removeAttribute("imageObject");
response.getOutputStream().write(pdf);
response.getOutputStream().flush();
response.getOutputStream().close();
%>
What happens is:
I click on one link
the new window opens
in the controller the pdf is built & put in the session
in the new window, showImage.jsp is loaded and the pdf is displayed.
Then I close the showImage.jsp window, in the first window I click another link
in the controller the new pdf is built & put in the session
in the new window the previous pdf is sent to the user.
the jsp doesn't run a second time ( there's a print statement that never runs, so I know the jsp never runs, and a few other tests).
It's not cached in the browser, I've used response.setHeader to prevent other caching.
so I'm stumped.
Does anyone know how to get this jsp to run everytime it's called?
Thanks
John

Answer 1

I don't recall the product shipping a facet called Mobility Framework. This might have come from another product called WebLogic Mobility Server. I do not believe that this product exists anymore since the Oracle purchase of BEA. This product came from a partner called MobileAware and I think you can still purchase it from them if you require it.
However, you might want to read about the native capabilities in WLP for handling multiple devices. Read:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13155_01/wlp/docs103/portals/multichannel.html to see if this is sufficient for your requirements.
