RequestDispatcher's forward method changes response's content type

[ht kim]

hi,
i'm using jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1.
i made servlet code that looks like below,
response.setContentType("text/vnd.wap.wml");
RequestDispatcher rd = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/wml1.jsp");
rd.forward(request, response);
and i requested to that servlet,
browser gets content type "text/html" instead of "text/vnd.wap.wml".
how did i get this unexpected result?
does forward method changed response object's content type?
if then, how can i set the content type correctly
without specifying the content type to jsp file(/wml1.jsp).

RequestDispatcher is used to chain servlets.
JSP pages use content type as text/html by default.
Using response.setContentType("text/vnd.wap.wml") in the JSP page may produce the desired result.

yes you are right.
i just checked the java file interpreted from the jsp out. and there was setContentType method calling like this.
response.setContentType("text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1");
so setContentType before jsp executing was overwritten.
thanks napa.
