We generate PDF dynamically, and in order to fool the Adobe Reader....We mask
the Servlet with a Servlet Alias that has a .PDF
extension...so...http://myurl/myservletpath/xtract.pdf really
points to GetPDFServlet.class. This might work for SVG by creating a
GetSVGServlet.class which has a xtract.svg Alias ???

Subject: MIME types for SVG servlet
Hi,
I'm fairly new to the field of servlet, web and SVG programming so my
question may be basic - but it's still causing me much grief at the moment.
I have searched the archives of this group and the W3C web site but can't
find an answer. I know my problem isn't strictly to do with servlets but is
closely related, so I hope someone can help!
My problem is...
I am wanting to send SVG from a web server (I'm using a Java Servlet) to a
client browser (MSIE5.5) and have it display as a graphic. Currently it is
displaying in IE as an hierarchical XML tree-structure. Can I cure this
problem by setting the MIME type sent from the servlet to another setting
(currently I'm using "image/svg+xml" as defined on the W3C site)?
The SVG I'm sending via the web server displays OK as an SVG image when
simply saved in a text file (with a ".SVG" extension), i.e. when I
double-click on this text file it opens up in MSIE and the SVG displays OK.
Any suggestions would be most useful.
Many thanks.
Billy.
