RE: DefaultDOMWriter

Hmm...good question. It'd be relatively easy to add a setContentType(String
contentType) method to the DefaultDOMWriter, but I wonder if there are other
approaches we should consider instead? Has anyone else run into the need to
do this?

I would have assumed that if you were returning non html you wouldn't be
using the DefaultDOMWriter...are you saying that you are somehow loading and
processing the Excel file as a DOM? Or are you just needing to pass back the
excel file in certain cases?

If the latter is the case, I'd just bypass the DOMWriter altogether and pass
the file back directly; then you could set the content type without any
problems and you wouldn't even need to muck with the DOM writer.

Please give us more info...
