If you mean "How do I specify which icon will be associated with a file
that I make available for download?"

You can't - the OS will always be able to override it.

The best you can do is present a recognisable MIME type in the
"setContentType" method call.  You're using another class there, so I
can't see what you're actually setting.  Do you know what is sent?

P.S. please note the following:

- It's "Tomcat", not "Tom Cat".

- The mailing list is now "users@tomcat.apache.org" not
"tomcat-u...@jakarta.apache.org".
