Xml pdf and document viewer

Question

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to open the pdf in the selfserivice page. when i'm using the below code to specify the PARAMETERS and XMLNode, it works for me without any issue but when i try to change the p_DataSource and p_TemplateCode names as i need to open different templates based on the condition, it doesn't work for me. it always open s the template with the previous names. Even though i change the names using pageContext.putParameter("p_DataSourceCode", "NewEmpDataDefinition"), and pageContext.putParameter("p_TemplateCode", "NewEmp_Template"), i don't see those new template information but it the page still shows the previous template information.
Please advice me on this.
// Set the page context parameter required for datasource BlobDomain.
pageContext.putParameter("p_DataSource", "BlobDomain");
pageContext.putParameter("p_DataSourceCode", "EmpDataDefinition");
pageContext.putParameter("p_DataSourceAppsShortName", "XXXX");
pageContext.putParameter("p_XDORegionHeight", "700");
pageContext.putParameter("p_TemplateCode", "Emp_Template");
pageContext.putParameter("p_TemplateAppsShortName", "XXXX");
pageContext.putParameter("p_Locale", locale);
ProcessFormRequest :
public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
super.processFormRequest(pageContext, webBean);
OAApplicationModule am = pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
// Handle the Run button event.
if(pageContext.getParameter("Go") != null)
String deptNo = pageContext.getParameter("DeptNo");
Serializable params[] = {
deptNo
// Generate the Data XML. The data xml should contain the employees of the specified dept
// number
XMLNode xmlNode = (XMLNode) am.invokeMethod("getDeptEmpDataXML",params);
try{
// Create a blob object and add the data xml to it.
BlobDomain blob = new BlobDomain();
OutputStream os = blob.getBinaryOutputStream();
xmlNode.print(os);
os.close();
pageContext.putSessionValueDirect("XML_DATA_BLOB", blob);
catch(Exception e)
throw new OAException(e.getMessage(), (byte)0);
Thank You

Using Integration of XML publisher with OAF we can achive this requirement.
For sample code refer:
http://apps2fusion.com/at/51-ps/260-integrating-xml-publisher-and-oa-framework
Code is given for generation of pdf report.
To get Excel report (or other formats ), we need to change code at three places:
1.String contentDisposition = "attachment;filename=EmpReport.xls";
2.response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
3. TemplateHelper.OUTPUT_TYPE_EXCEL,
