Stream a pdf file But want it to open in the browser automatically.

Question

Hi all,
I have successfully stream a pdf file to the browser. But it ask the user to save the pdf. This is not what i intended to do. I would like the browser to automatically load the pdf file.
How could i do that?
I already added the setContentType to "application/pdf".
Following is portion of my code:
JasperReport jasperReport = (JasperReport)JRLoader.loadObject(preprintedForm);
          JasperPrint jasperPrint =JasperFillManager.fillReport(jasperReport, paramMap ,new JREmptyDataSource());
          response.setContentType("application/pdf");
          response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=test.pdf");
          JRPdfExporter exporter = new JRPdfExporter();
          exporter.setParameter(JRExporterParameter.JASPER_PRINT, jasperPrint);
          OutputStream ouputStream = response.getOutputStream();
          exporter.setParameter(JRExporterParameter.OUTPUT_STREAM, ouputStream);
          try
                                 exporter.exportReport();
                            catch (JRException e)
                                 throw new ServletException(e);
                            finally
                                 if (ouputStream != null)
                                      try
                                           ouputStream.close();
                                      catch (IOException ex)
                            }Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Try this
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","inline; filename=test.pdf");
and from the Jsp or HTML from where you are trying to access this use. window.location.href.
Thanks and Regards,
