Currently, the HTTP servlet reads this property from the invocation parameters after the connector properties have been read, so it cannot be set from within the
BizDoc. (You might want to log that as a feature request in our SourceForge project.)
FYI - The wiki
XAware Connectors contains information about Connectors, including a link to the page
Using the HTTP Servlet Connector, which includes a table of some of the "Connector Properties" accessed through SessionVariables. It might make sense to add the OUTPUT_TYPE as a connector property that can be read or set by the BizDoc.
