In case what the OP wants is for a zip of the text file (from his file
system) to end up on the user's desk top, here is today's top Google
hit on "servlet mime type zip":

Hi,
Could someone please point me to some information? I am having
difficulty
finding what I need on Google.
I want to embed links in my page that, when clicked on will
download a text
file form the file system onto users desktop - stream it.
However, if possible I want to avoid writing a separate process for
it. I
heard that Tomcat may already have the facility to do this for me -
I just
need to configure it and construct the link accordingly. So, a
pointer to
the right docs would be much appreciated.
It may be just the way you explain it, but I don't really understand
what the problem is. Tomcat will "naturally" (without even having
to add anything to the basic configuration) return the content of a
text file, if it is in the right place and the link on your page
points to it. That is maybe why you do not find anything on Google
about it : because it is not an issue and never was.
(It is also unusual to talk about "streaming" for a text file).
So what have you tried to do and what does not work, and how does it
not work ?
Oh, and maybe provide some details about your Tomcat version and so
on.
