OK, I read the "JavaServer Pages Specification" and it's clear that JSPs are
servlets only designed to send TEXT data.

Trying to send a PDF or other binary data via a JSP should not be done.
A servlet should be written for this kind of things.

The workaroud 'response.reset()' should not be used in a production environment.
It works with the actual Coyote implementation, but nothing can guarantee that
others implementation will accept it.
In facts, the getOutputStream() method should not be allowed in a JSP.

The getWriter() method should be called() as soon as possible in the generated
java code of the JSP. Then a call to getOutputStream() would result in a
IllegalStateException.

Regards
