Is it possible to display PDF file as a h:graphicImage?

Question

I am using a servlet to convert my PDF file into bytearray stream and write the content to reponse as below
String contentType = URLConnection.guessContentTypeFromName(pdfFileName);
BufferedInputStream input = null;
BufferedOutputStream output = null;
try {
input = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(imageFile));
int contentLength = input.available();
response.reset();
response.setContentLength(contentLength);
response.setContentType(contentType);
response.setHeader(
"Content-disposition", "inline; filename=\"" + pdfFileName + "\"");
output = new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
while (contentLength-- > 0) {
output.write(input.read());
output.flush();
And in my JSF i am using
<h:graphicImage value="/pdfRenderer" id="pdf" />
But i am getting a unnown image shown in the rendered page.

Hi,
pon_jsf, have you succedded to display the pdf file with <h:graphicImage>
Because i have also same requirement. i also want to display the pdf file with <h:graphicImage>
Basically i want to print the pdf file with print dialog box but i dont know print dialog not displaying with mycode. so i have trying another way to display the pdf file
I want to print the jsp page directely with calling javascript function window.print() on onload so that i will get print dialog.
so i need that pdf file must display in my jsf page.
with code
<h:panelGrid>
<h:graphicImage url="#{barcode.pdfFilePath}"/>
</h:panelGrid>
but when i am running it was not displaying the pdf content in my jsf page.
Thanks
Indira.
