<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
The default content-type set by the JSP engine is text/html.<br />
Is it possible to set content-type in the JSP to anything other than text/html like say image/gif ?<br />
<br />
I think it couldn't be done in JSP specifications 1.1 and earlier. What about in later JSP specs like 1.2 or 2.0 ?<br />
<br />
Or are there any hacks around, for this problem ?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance,<br />

Setting Content type in JSP

JavaServer Pages (JSP) allow the development of dynamically generated web pages. It uses the Java programming language; JSP pages are translated into servlets at runtime, with each servlet being cached and reused until the JSP is modified. JSP allows Java code to be interleaved with static web markup content, so the resulting page can be compiled and executed on the server to deliver the content.
