How to output a postscript file with .ps extension name in jsp?

Question

Hi,
I could use a servlet to output a postscript file with .ps file extension name. But I tried to do the same with jsp, for some reason, jsp always outputs a file with .jsp extension name though the content is postscript. Could anyone help me on this? Here is my jsp code:
<%@page contentType="application/postscript"%>
<%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@page import="java.util.*" %>
<%@page import="java.io.*" %>
<jsp:useBean id="corresv" class="oiintranet.CorresVBean" scope="request"/>
<%
response.setContentType("application/postscript");
String corresId = request.getParameter("Id");
corresv.setCorresId(corresId);
PrintWriter output = response.getWriter();
output = corresv.getResult(output);
output.flush();
%>
In the bean corresv:
public class CorresVBean extends BaseBean {
private String corresId;
public void setCorresId(String s) {
this.corresId = s;
public PrintWriter getResult(PrintWriter output) {
//get postscript file content from a socket, one string line each time until reaches "X_END"
String str;
while ((str = in.readLine()) != null) {
if (str.equals("X_END")) break;
output.println (str);
output.close();
}catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return output;
Thank you in advance.
