Ran - I'm unfamiliar with Jetspeed, so take what I say next with a grain of salt. When you say "print a link to it", do you mean to say you add an <A> tag to the resulting page with the appropriate path? So the user is just clicking on a regular html <A> link? If so, then I would think adding a <mime-mapping> for the .csv extension to your web.xml would be sufficient. There is no mime-mapping for .csv in the standard web.xml file distributed with Tomcat. If instead your portlet/servlet is streaming the file (or anything more complicated), then you'll need the advice of someone more technical than me. Jeff

I don't believe they support changing the response's ContentType. I wanted to know if there was anything about the Tomcat platform that could result in a CSV file defaulting to an HTM file, and if there was anything to do about it. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/CSV-File-%22Save-as%22-dialogue-defaults-to-HTM-fi le-tp27303866p27308426.html Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org ******************************* NOTICE ********************************* This message is intended for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, confidential, and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
