This isn't a java issue, JW Player only supports HTTP Psuedo Streaming and RTMP Streaming. They're both their own protocols - you can't just stream the pure content at it. Take a look at this page: http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/jw-player-for-flash-v5/12534/video-delivery-http-pseudo-streaming, and this page: http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/jw-player-for-flash-v5/12535/video-delivery-rtmp-streaming for info on how JW Player does streaming.

If you don't want the user to have to wait to get all of the content, you'll need to go with one of those streaming mechanisms. If that's not an issue, you could consider changing your servlet to write the file somewhere in your webcontent directory and then do a redirect to the file or something, but I don't think writing to the response stream like that is going to do the trick.
