If it does use PrintWriter to write the output, then it makes sense for it to only output text. See this from the PrintWriter javadoc:
Print formatted representations of objects to a text-output stream. This class implements all of the print methods found in PrintStream. It does not contain methods for writing raw bytes, for which a program should use unencoded byte streams. If you want to include files of non-text types (or types that are text, but not included in your MIME types list), why not just write a utility method that opens a file, reads it and returns its contents as a String? -August --- Micael Padraig Og mac Grene <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > At 08:22 PM 12/7/01 -0800, you wrote: > >Yeah, see my last post.
