Configuring Tomcat for JWS

[Richa Anand]

Hello All,
I'm using Apache Tomcat 5. I want to write an application build around JWS.

I want to configure the servlet container to use the appropriate MIME type. The server must return the application/x-java-jnlp-file MIME type for JNLP files in order for Java Web Start to invoke.

How can I do that?
Regards,
Richa

Starting with 4.0.x Tomcat is already configured to recognize .jnlp I would expect Tomcat 5 is the same.
to check it out, open TOMCAT_HOME/conf/web.xml

and look for the following:

  <mime-mapping>
    <extension>jnlp</extension>
    <mime-type>application/x-java-jnlp-file</mime-type>
  </mime-mapping>
