here's my big problem today. I am creating a tag-lib and I need the top tag to
take care of setting the content type. My tag goes like:

public int doStartTag() throws JspException {

 try {
   HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)pageContext.getRequest();

   HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse)pageContext.getResponse();

   response.setContentType("text/vnd.wap.wml");

   :
 }

My JSP file looks like:

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tld/tags.tld" prefix="pref" %><pref:document>

(i.e. evrything squeezed on the very first line
to make sure that no char escapes and the default text/html content type
is not generated).
Alas. It doesn't work. I keep getting text/html.

I made some tests and if I set the mime type explicitly in the JSP like below
(after removing the contenttype() line from the taglib) it works!

<%
response.setContentType("text/vnd.wap.wml");
%><%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tld/tags.tld" prefix="pref" %><pref:document>

any idea?

thanks
