jws and tomcat

hi, i am using tomcat as my web server.

i am trying to launch a java application using jws but i get the error:

Bad MIME type returned from server when accessing resource: http://localhost:8080/examples/jsp/javawebstart1/Simulator.jnlp - text/plain

why do i get this error?

i already modified the tomcat/conf/web.xml file:

<mime-mapping>

jnlp

</extension>

<mime-type>

application/x-java-jnlp-file

</mime-type>

</mime-mapping>

Hi, did you try out some of the suggestions in the Unofficial Web Start FAQ at http://vamphq.com/jwsfaq.html ? - Gerald

Good if you set mime type to be presented by web server. (nothing to do with tomcat ... it has it already done.

What you have to do ( or any browsing user ) is to register that mime type with a browser.

It is done usually by JWS client installation. Usually means for following configurations:

linux, netscape4

windows, ie

Other combination (linux,mozilla; linux,konqueror; windows,netscape) must be done manually.
