I don't what to be unpolite, but I'm wondering if you have read at least
the documentation which are part of the JSDK ?
Anyway, the following quote is ripped from the javadoc (ServletResponse
Interface):
To send binary data in a MIME body response, use the ServletOutputStream
returned by getOutputStream(). To send character data, use the PrintWriter
object returned by getWriter(). To mix binary and text data, for example,
to create a multipart response, use a ServletOutputStream and manage the
character sections manually.
