RE: content type

  That depends on the application that actually merges
the template with your context. Are you using the
VelocityServlet then you can simply override the
method setContentType(...) and set the content-type.

  If you want to set the content-type *within* your
template, then you can't use VelocityServlet since
it renders directly to the servlet's OutputStream.
You would have to implement some kind of buffer, which
is sent to the OutputStream after the template has
been rendered. So you could do something like

$servlet.setContentType("...")

from within your template. But, anyway I would consider
changing the content-type from within a template as
a bad design choice.
