This sounds like an issue with the content-type your servlet (the one
processing the template) is setting on the response. Are you using
the VelocityViewServlet or your own? if the former, are you setting
the 'default.contentType' property to 'text/xsl' in your
velocity.properties? If not, then

the setContentType(request, response) method.
to be able to tell what content type to set, you will want to push an
indicator (or the content type value

I believe that I have done what you suggested. I created a class
MyVelocityViewServlet that extends VelocityViewServlet. It contains only
an overridden setContentType(request, response) which pulls an attribute
out of the request and sets the content type of the response based on
That all sounds correct. The only thing i can think of to check on is
