Http header setting in servlet

Question

Hello,
I want to set the header parameters of http response in my servlet.
I set parameters as below:
          theResponse.setHeader("Request Version", "HTTP/1.1");
          theResponse.setStatus(200);
          theResponse.setHeader("Date", "Wed, 18 Apr 2007 09:24:04 GMT");
          theResponse.setHeader("Server", "Tomcat");
          theResponse.addCookie(theRequest.getCookies()[0]);
          theResponse.setHeader("pragma", "no-cache"); // HTTP 1.0
          theResponse.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache"); // HTTP 1.1
          theResponse.setHeader("Expires", "Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // a past date
          theResponse.setDateHeader("Last-Modified", (new java.util.Date()).getTime());
          theResponse.setHeader("Connection", "close");
          theResponse.setContentType("text/plain");
//some other things...
          PrintWriter aPrintWriter = theResponse.getWriter();
          aPrintWriter.write("this is the string to be put into the body part of the http packet.");
However, I am checking what I am sending as response using the ethereal network sniffing tool and seeing the result below:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n
Request Version: HTTP/1.1
Response Code: 200
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1\r\n
Content-Length: 68\r\n
Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2007 17:55:10 GMT\r\n
\r\n
Data (68 bytes)
I am setting header parameters as it should be.. But it doesn't care about my parameters and Tomcat puts some values that it selects..
Where is my fault? Can anyone recommend sth please..? I am really stucked here..
Thanks & Regards

Hello,
It looks like your question is really related to Tomcat (coyote). However if you want to control the server name on OC4J you can do it, see this blog entry:
