Not a bug, as the spec requires setContentType. See my comments

        Key: JS2-67
    Summary: Have to manually set the content type on the response object in certain portlets
       Type: Bug

     Status: Closed
   Priority: Major
 Resolution: WON'T FIX

    Project: Jetspeed 2

Description:
Created a simple portlet that extends javax.portlet.GenericPortlet and implmenet the doView() method like this:

String url = getInitParameter("url");
response.getWriter().write("<a href=\""+url+"\" target=\"_blank\" >"+url+"</a>");    

This does not work and logs an error that the content needs to be set before getWriter() is called.

As soon as I added that a line that does that:

String url = getInitParameter("url");
response.setContentType("text/html");
response.getWriter().write("<a href=\""+url+"\" target=\"_blank\" >"+url+"</a>");  

everything works fine.

Am I missing something in the spec, or is this really a bug?
