Adnan Durrani added a comment - 07/Jan/09 5:28 AM The Resource.open() method get invoked only when link/button was clicked. So by writing the custom handler this problem can be resolved. The outputResource demo has been modified under component-showcase (revision 18154). Please see the following snippet of the custom handler. class MyResource implements Resource, Serializable{ private String resourceName; private InputStream inputStream; private final Date lastModified; public MyResource(String resourceName) { this.resourceName = resourceName; this.lastModified = new Date(); } public InputStream open() throws IOException { if (inputStream == null) { inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream( OutputResourceBean.toByteArray( Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(OutputResourceBean.RESOURCE_PATH + resourceName))); } return inputStream; } public String calculateDigest() { return resourceName; } public Date lastModified() { return lastModified; } public void withOptions(Options arg0) throws IOException { } }

Yogaraj Khanal added a comment - 23/Aug/09 11:54 AM I was wondering if I use this approach in 1.7.2 will it work or do I need to upgrade to 1.8 for solving this problem

Yogaraj Khanal added a comment - 25/Aug/09 5:03 PM I solved this problem using code below i am not sure if this is efficient one /* To change this template, choose Tools | Templates and open the template in the editor. */ package gov.fda.oim.ccm.ui;
