This is not specific to tomcat, it's basic servlet writing.  If you're
outputting binary data, don't use the writer obtained from
HttpServletResponse#getWriter.  Instead, use the output stream obtained
from HttpServletResponse#getOutputStream.  Then setting the mime type
will be sufficient.

And useless suggestions? ;)
