Hi,

I have the following problem. I need to export a PDF in a controller

The code below, where I return a View, works as expected.


@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public View exportReport(
            @RequestParam(value = "userName", required = true) String userName,
            @RequestParam(value = "startDate", required = true) Date startDate,
            @RequestParam(value = "endDate", required = true) Date endDate) {


                ///////////////////////////////////////////

        return new TimeSheetReportPdfView();
    }

The problem occurs if I change the method to return a ModelAndView:


@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public ModelAndView exportReport(
            @RequestParam(value = "userName", required = true) String userName,
            @RequestParam(value = "startDate", required = true) Date startDate,
            @RequestParam(value = "endDate", required = true) Date endDate) {


                ///////////////////////////////////////////

        return new ModelAndView(new TimeSheetReportPdfView(), model);
    }

Now, the PDF is not exported, all I get is a blank page and nothing in the logs.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.
