Thanks Jilles , I need to set the content-type of a servlet response as "application/vnd.wap.mms-message". But I will recheck my code if I am setting content-type to text/html before setting it to "application/vnd.wap.mms-message". If it does not work, I will wrap the response as you suggested. Thanks for your response and suggestions.
