Load PDF file using ADF 11g

Question

Hi There,
I have a requirement of showing PDF file in popup window or in a frame . I am using the following code
<af:commandButton text="#{node}" useWindow="true" action="dialog:showPDF"
actionListener="#{ReportTemplateDesigner.downloadPDFReport}" windowHeight="300" windowWidth="400" />
and in managed bean
public String downloadPDFReport(ActionEvent actionEvent) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ExternalContext externalContext = facesContext.getExternalContext();
HttpServletResponse response =
(HttpServletResponse)externalContext.getResponse();
File file = new File("C:\\report.pdf");
FileInputStream input = new FileInputStream(file);
BufferedInputStream bInput = null;
BufferedOutputStream output = null;
try {
bInput = new BufferedInputStream(input, DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE);
response.reset();
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
response.setHeader("Content-disposition",
"inline; filename=\"" + "ABC" + "\"");
output =
new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream(), DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE);
System.out.println("inside download PDF report");
byte[] buffer = new byte[DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE];
int length;
while ((length = input.read(buffer)) > 0) {
output.write(buffer, 0, length);
output.flush();
} finally {
close((Closeable)output);
close((Closeable)bInput);
facesContext.responseComplete();
return "dialog:showPDF";
I can see the pdf file is loaded into the same window . Could anyone tell me is there any way to load PDF file on the same page in a frame ?
Thanks in advance,
Ree

Managed bean code :
FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ExternalContext externalContext =
facesContext.getExternalContext();
HttpServletRequest request =
(HttpServletRequest)externalContext.getRequest();
String originalUrl = (request.getRequestURL().toString());
String find = "Report";
String replace = "Report/" + pdfFileName; // path of pdf file .
pdfUrl = replaceAllWords2(originalUrl, find, replace);
System.out.println("PDF URL :" + pdfUrl);
Jsf code
<af:inlineFrame source="#{Report.pdfUrl}"
inlineStyle="width:100%; height:100%;"></af:inlineFrame>
Hope this help.
