How to use HttpServletResponse() ?

Question

Dear sirs...
consider the following code:
public class DataPage1Action extends DataForwardAction
public void onAa(DataActionContext ctx)
ctx.getHttpServletResponse().setContentType("text/txt");
try
ctx.getHttpServletResponse().getWriter().write("this is a test");;
catch (Exception e)
when i try to run the code above, i get nothing but the same UIX page. however, when i add
ctx.getHttpServletResponse().getWriter().flush();
i get the text "this is a text" with an exception
what is the problem with this code?
thanks for any help

Hi
I am having a similar problem where my svg document is being asked to be saved rather than ouputting in the browser. Does anyone have any ideas??
     public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,HttpServletResponse response)throws IOException, ServletException {
          response.setContentType("image/svg+xml");
          //response.setContentType("image/svg+xml; charset=UTF-8");
          response.setHeader("Pragma", "No-cache");
          response.setDateHeader("Expires", 0);
          response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
          ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
          // Output goes in the response stream.
          //PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
          //PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter (response.getOutputStream());
          // Define out two inputs, and sinlge output
          //File in = new File("C:\\booklist_loop.xsl");
          Source xslSource = new StreamSource("C:\\booklist_loop.xsl");
          Source xmlSource = new StreamSource("C:\\books.xml");
          //Result result =new StreamResult(svgString);
          Result result = new StreamResult(out);
     try{
          // Create a Transformer factory
          TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
          // Generate Transformer from factory passing XSL source
          Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(xslSource);
          // Make it happen
          transformer.transform(xmlSource, result);
          } catch( Exception e ) {
               e.printStackTrace();
}
