Hello Helen, The media player is a client side thing. It has no clue whatsoever that you sent the media content via a servlet or a static file. You just have to make sure that when you send the content in the response that you set the appropriate mime-type. If the user has media player installed *and* it is associated with that mime-type, then media player will be automatically launched on the users machine to play the content.
