Greetings -
The short answer is:
servletOutputStream.setContentType( "image/gif" );
This should be a FAQ, but it is not in either of the FAQs I'm aware of:
http://www.purpletech.com/java/servlet-faq/
http://wwwusers.imaginet.fr/~lse/JSS/textes/servfaq.htm
Jason Hunter's execellent Java Servlet Programming book has very good
examples. I would recommend buying the book if you are serious about
servlets. Check out:
http://www.servlets.com/jsp/buy.html
Finally, the web site to go along with the book contain examples that
might be useful:
http://www.servlets.com/jsp/examples/ch06/index.html
Good luck,
- Paul Philion
PS: Anyone what to update their FAQ?
PPS: Has anyone done a Java/servlet-based version of the Faq-O-Matic?
(i.e. Automatic FAQ generation written in Java and servlets)?
