WebLogic Server - Problem encoding file MS Word in jsp

Question

Hi, i'm new in this forum...sorry for my english but i don't speak it very well...
I have a problem with encoding of a MS Word file (with WebLogic Server 8.1.4).....I have this file stored in a DB Oracle like a BLOB...then I extract this file and I obtain the bytes of this file....than i write this byte in my ServletOutputStream so that i can see this word document from my jsp page in word format....until now everithing is ok...MS Word is open....but in the file the character are not encoded....are like this
"ÐÏ à¡± á ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ "....... why i can't see it correctly???
What I don't understand is thas:
1)in the same page with a pdf (even this extract as byte from oracle column BLOB) works fine
2)with the same web application deployed on a tomcat server everithings work fine (with doc,xls....)
3)I think that every settings is ok....
in the jsp file
response.setContentType("application/msword");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=test.doc");
in web.xml
<mime-mapping>
<extension>doc</extension>
<mime-type>application/msword</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
in weblogic.xml (I have read this in a forum)
<jsp-descriptor>
<jsp-param>
<param-name>encoding</param-name>
<param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
</jsp-param>
<jsp-param>
<param-name>compilerSupportsEncoding</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</jsp-param>
</jsp-descriptor>
The file that i obtain is not encode but is corret....infact if i make a compare (with a program "Beyond Compare" that meka a compare with the character not encoded like "ÐÏ à¡± á ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ ") between the file that I obtain and the original file....everithing is equal...so the file is ok....but i can't open this correctly and visualize it correctly in word format!
Please help me.....thanks so much

Answer 1

i was able to solve it by clearing the output stream (jsp page - out.clear() ) before using it, even resetting the jsp response does the trick..
