Don't know the problem specifically, but here are some suggestions to investigate:
Does it show anything in the page when you view source on it?
I would recommend using a servlet rather than a JSP page for this, if only for the fact the JSPs can insert carriage returns into places where you might not want them to. This might screw up the PDF file format?
Try setting the a link to the jsp, right-click and "save target as..." just to see if it gets any response at all - ie bypass the browser display.
Good luck,
