Unfortunately, that's not possible: using WURFL/WALL, a single request can return either WML or XHTML, depending on the user agent. Normally, the wall:document tag automatically sets the MIME type according to the user agent, but within OpenCms, response.setContentType has no effect. That's why I tried to set the content type (again) manually, but without success.

Has anyone experience setting the response's MIME type manually within OpenCms?
