Re: [Webware-discuss] Generating XML With Webware

[Aaron H. <aa...@me...>]

1) Change writeContent to writeHTML and you will not have to override 
all of the extra (writeHEAD...) methods
2) set the content-header to spit out the mozilla mime type  (search the 
list - people normally do it to write an XLS file or GIF)
