Opening pdf file in a browser window.

Question

I have a requirement to open a pdf file in a new browser window after onClick of a link. It is not the url of the pdf file. Actually the pdf file is generated dynamically by reading a blob column from the database and converting into a byte array and writing it to the outputstream. This is the code
Currently on click of the link we are opening a jsp file which has the following code. We have put target=_blank in the link.
String fileName = "DownLoadFile.pdf";
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=\""+ fileName + "\"");
response.setContentLength(retrieveDocumentValue.getDocumentObj().length);
try{
ServletOutputStream out1 = response.getOutputStream();
out1.write(retrieveDocumentValue.getDocumentObj());
out.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
out.println("IO Exception");
e.printStackTrace();
}The problem is that,It is opening two window, one is an blank browser window and other pdf file in the Acrobat reader application? How can we open the file directly in the browser only without opening the Acrobat reader application externally?

We are facing this problem with IE6 browser only. In firefox, it opens fine in a browser window. What configuration should we do in IE6?
