Re: Output xml string from a servlet directly to browser and pres erve the xml structure

[Chen, Gin]

actually in a servlet.. it will also work with response.setContentType("text/xml");

at least it does with my apps.

 

Environment:

    Servlet 2.2 (and 2.3)

    IE 5.5 sp2

This isn't going to work in a SERVLET.

Dont use a response.setContentType
do this instead:
<%@ page contentType="text/xml;charset=ISO-8859-1" %>
then just write out the xml
example:
 
<%@ page contentType="text/xml;charset=ISO-8859-1" %>
<tag1>
  text1
  <tag2> text2 </tag2>
  <tag2> text3 </tag2>
</tag1>

Subject: Output xml string from a servlet directly to browser and preserve the xml structure

Hi,

I asked for help in displaying xml in IE as it is and get little hint. Let me restate the problem.

I want to be able to use an output method to directly output from servlet to browser an xml string with the xml tags preserved and the xml structure clearly presented. (The result should be the same as if one clicks on an .xml file).

I tried to do response.setContentType("text/xml") before print out and didn't get what I want. (The result is the same as if I use ("text/html"), ("text/plain"));

Some Servlet/XML Guru out there please help.

Thanks.

Jian
