Images in a popup window

Question

Hi,
I have some difficulty displaying images in a popup window. The (Tomcat 5.5) server apparently sends them with a content type of utf-8 text, which leads to an exception page shown in the popup window instead of the picture.
In web.xml I checked the mime-mapping for the images:
     <mime-mapping>
          <extension>jpg</extension>
          <mime-type>image/jpeg</mime-type>
     </mime-mapping>
etc.
The html part is this:
<a href="# onclick="window.open('${image.path', '',
'status=no,width=${image.width},height=${image.height}');">Show Picture</a>
How can I get the server to send the images with the proper Content-types? Do I necessarily have to create a separate JSP page for this purpose?
Thanks,

Thanks for that !
Sadly (probably due to my HTML knowledge or lack of) I'm not
getting very far at all. I've added some skeleton classes to
default.css simply to see if anything changes and it's not :-(. Can
anyone advise what I might be doing wrong here ? - the final goal
is to have normal hyperlinks exactly as they are just now but with
popup links to have a dotted underline instead of a solid
underline.
A.link {
font-size: 10pt;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
line-height: Normal;
A.visited {
font-size: 10pt;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
line-height: Normal;
A.hover {
font-size: 10pt;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
line-height: Normal;
A.popup.link {
font-size: 10pt;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
line-height: Normal;
border-bottom: 1px dotted
A.popup.visited{
font-size: 10pt;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
line-height: Normal;
border-bottom: 1px dotted
A.popup.hover{
font-size: 10pt;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
line-height: Normal;
border-bottom: 1px dotted
}
