Help required: Cannot open pdf using Jasper Report in Weblogic workshop 9.2

Question

This message was accepted by the [email protected] mailing list. Hi ,
I am new to jasper reports and I am using them in Java Page Flow in bea workshop 9.2
In one of my action methods
ServletOutputStream servletOutputStream = getResponse().getOutputStream();
InputStream reportStream = getServlet().getServletConfig().getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("/classic.jasper");
JasperRunManager.runReportToPdfStream(reportStream, servletOutputStream, new HashMap() ,connection);
getResponse().setContentType("application/pdf");
servletOutputStream.flush();
servletOutputStream.close();
connection.close();
When I invoke this action method from another page on click of submit , the pdf file opens fine for the first time( first submit) , and then if I click on submit again, it fails to open the pdf with the error message ,
There was an error opening this document . This file cannot be found.
Please help me resolve the issue, its urgent.
Thanx in advance

Thanks for the reply David. The problem we're having is that when you are in Workshop, there is the option, under the "File" menu to "Refresh" (F5) You sometimes need to do this to refresh your workspace. I'm sorry, I'm not a developer, so I don't know the details behind what that actually does, other than it "refreshes the workspace" so we can pick up the changes made and checked into subversion.
Without performing this step, you don't always build from the latest and greatest code.
The problem we're facing is that it seems that you need to be in Workshop to perform this step. There is a scripted way to do the refresh, but it requires you to open Workshop and run the script. What we're trying to accomplish is a truly scripted solution. All the other steps in the build process can be performed without opening Workshop, but because we can't figure out a way to do this one piece, we cannot have an automated build process.
