In This tutorial we will learn about how to export user profile in pdf file format using java technology
example such as exporting utopian user profile or steemit profile

Requirements

1. JDK 1.7 or above
2. Eclipse IDE
3. Tomcat Application Server 7 or above
4. Any Database installed like : Oracle, mysql etc beacause we are using HQL not sql

but change the dialect and database driver depends upon database you're using

Steps:

Open Eclipse IDE

Craete dynamic web project and configuring tomcat server

Then Create Database and tables

Create Jsp file add code:

<h1>${users.user_name}&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="font-size:18px;">(${users.user_gender})</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="UsersProfileExport/${users.user_id}" class="btn btn-primary">Download Profile <i class="fa fa-download"></i></a></h1>

Stablish connection and get using sessionFactory and add code to get user data from database:

public Users getUsers(int user_id) {
        return (Users) sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().get(Users.class, user_id);
    }

Create controller and add code:

@RequestMapping(value="/UsersProfileExport/{userid}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public @ResponseBody void exportUserProfile(@PathVariable("userid") String userid, HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse response) throws MalformedURLException, IOException {
        UsersBean list = prepareUsersBean(usersService.getUsers(Integer.parseInt(userid)));
        userprofilepdf.exportUserProfile(list, list.getUser_name(), req, response);
        //new UserProfilePdfs().exportUserProfile(list, list.getUser_name(), req, response);
    }

create java file thats calls via controller export metod to write user export pdf profile:
