text/comma-separated-values came from the /etc/mime.types on my Linux
box. Thinking about this a little more you should probably do.

resp.setContentType(BuildingServer.getInstance().getMimeType("marks.csv"))

This way the mapping setup for the container will be used for CSV file
you generate, otherwise if we have to switch to fix a browser bug it
will mean changing the code in lots of places.

In fact all resp.setContentType should probably do this that are used
for generated file.
