favicon when serving non-html
Hi,
When I serve up, say, a PDF file, how do I control the favicon?
Here's my code:
response.reset();
response.setContentType(IOUtilities.gMIMEType(fn));
response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "inline; filename=" + file.getName());
OutputStream outStream = response.getOutputStream();
synchronized(response.getOutputStream()){
outStream.write(IOUtilities.gFile2Bytes(file.getAbsolutePath()));
}
response.flushBuffer();
Thanks in advance

Why would you?
FavIcon is meant as attributes of pages, more specifically pages of whole sites.
You can potentially have different FavIcons for different parts of your web
site, but that is not common. Resources, which PDF is, have no reason for
"having a favourite icon". It would be the same as asking "can my GIFs have
favicon". No, they cannot. Nor should they.
Nix.

Again, take a look at the HTTP requests you're getting. There will be a separate GET favicon.ico request which is normally handled by Tomcat's DefaultServlet, delivering the webapps/ROOT/favicon.ico file. You can either intercept that request with your own servlet or filter, or just change the favicon.ico file in the above location to be whatever you want.

You will only be able to change the favicon for the entire site. You can
specify a favicon on a page-by-page basis, but only if it is an HTML or
XHTML file.

Re: favicon when serving non-html

The usual way to specify the favicon is by putting it at the root of
the web site, e.g. http://www.example.com/favicon.ico. On the server,
this file is usually found in [Tomcat dir]/webapps/ROOT/favicon.ico -
change that file to whatever icon you want.
There are some other ways to specify the favicon, but I don't know if
they're supported by all browsers.

Thanks for the responses.
When I serve up a pdf file with the code below, it shows it in an embedded acrobat, as desired. However, the icon in the browser (in the tab) is the Tomcat logo.
I'd like to change it to something else.

If you mean "How do I specify which icon will be associated with a file
that I make available for download?"
You can't - the OS will always be able to override it.
The best you can do is present a recognisable MIME type in the
"setContentType" method call. You're using another class there, so I
can't see what you're actually setting. Do you know what is sent?

P.S. please note the following:
- It's "Tomcat", not "Tom Cat".
- The mailing list is now "users@tomcat.apache.org" not

Any request for a favicon is separate from the main page; you shouldn't have to do anything. Use an HTTP monitor (eg, Firebug) to see how that works.
