Save JasperReport Generated PDF To File in Server

[npintos]

Hello,

I'm trying to save the reports (actually letters sent to customers) generated with jasperReports to a file in the server. That is, after the user clicks on the button 'Generate Letters', the pdf is sent back to the browser AND i also want to save a copy. Here's my code so far, in the handleRequestInternal method of a subclassed AbstractForm:

String ids = request.getParameter(Constants.DATAGRID_SELECTION_PARAMETER);
		HashMap modelo = new HashMap();
		modelo.put("ids","(" + ids + ")");
        
        DataSource ds = (DataSource)getApplicationContext().getBean("dataSource");
        JasperReport jr = (JasperReport)JRLoader.loadObject(getServletContext().getRealPath("/") + "/reports/cartaAlta.jasper"); 
        JasperPrint print = JasperFillManager.fillReport(jr, modelo, ds.getConnection());
        JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdfFile(print,"cartas.pdf");
       
        return new ModelAndView("cartaAltaView",modelo);

With this code, i get this stack trace:

[ERROR] DispatcherServlet - -Could not complete request <org.springframework.web.util.NestedServletE
xception: Handler processing failed; nested exception is java.lang.StackOverflowError: null>org.spri

...
(and so on and on)

And this is the view definition:

    <bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">
        <property name="driverClassName"><value>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</value></property>
     	<property name="url"><value>jdbc:oracle:thin:@99.99.99.99:1521:BDDESBCN</value></property>
        <property name="username"><value>****</value></property>
        <property name="password"><value>****</value></property>
    </bean>
(of course the ip is ficticious)

    <bean id="cartaAltaView" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.jasperreports.JasperReportsPdfView">
        <property name="url" value="/reports/cartaAlta.jasper"/>
        <property name="jdbcDataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
        <property name="headers">
        	<props>
        		<prop key="Content-Disposition">attachment; filename=cartasBaja.pdf</prop>
        		<prop key="Content-type">application/pdf</prop>
        	</props>
        </property>
    </bean>

I don't know what i'm doing wrong. I know the report file is OK because if i don't render it by hand, it returns gracefully to the browser and opens in acrobat.
I'm using Spring 1.2.7, JasperReports 1.2.

<update>
I'm using Tomcat 3.3 (it's a requirement od the application). I've tried in Tomcat 4 and it works fine!! Now I'm even more puzzled...



Any hint? Thanks a lot!!!
