I think you need a servlet to do this. Since a Word doc contains binary
characters a JSP won't be able to output the file. JSPs can only output
text. It should be pretty straightforward to output the BLOB data from a
servlet. You should set the content type to application/msword and that
should give the browser the information that it needs to handle it as a
Word doc. I think it will know enough to use either MSWord or Winword to
open the file. If not, try application/winword. I doubt that is going to
work though.
