String fileName ="c:/test1.pdf";
  File file = new File(fileName);
   if(!file.exists())
     return;
  // If JSP
  String mimeType = application.getMimeType(fileName);
       If you are using servlet
       String mimeType = this.getServletContext().getMimeType(fileName);
     response.setContentType(mimeType);  
     response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","inline;filename=\\"+fileName+"\\");
  BufferedOutputStream out1 = null;
  InputStream in = null;
  if(mimeType == null)
     mimeType = "application/octet-stream";
  try{
     in = new FileInputStream(f);
     response.setContentLength(in.available());
     BufferedOutputStream out1 = new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream(),1024);
     int size = 0;
     byte[] b = new byte[1024];
     while ((size = in.read(b, 0, 1024)) > 0)
        out1.write(b, 0, size);
  }catch(Exception exp){
  }finally{
      if(out1 != null){
         try{
            out1.flush();               
            out1.close();
         }catch(Exception e){}
      if(in != null){
        try{in.close();}catch(Exception e){}
  } this is what either your JSP/SERVLET/Backing Bean is supposed to do.
please try to restructure your code as per it.
Hope that might help :)
