Hello, Out environment: 1. Tomcat 3.2.2 2. Sun JDK 1.2.2_5 3. Windows 2000 We accept requests in Servlets which set the content type then forward the request to the JSP. It seems that the JSP overrides the content type as part of its initialization. We would like to avoid adding a <%@ page contentType="..."%> to each JSP page both for maintenability and since we want the content type to be configurable. Is there a way to do that? I read in the jGuru JSP FAQ that an include() instead of a forward() might cause header-setting in the JSP to be ignored, is that the right solution? What else would this affect? Thanks, --Amos
