I am try to deploy an application at Tomcat 3.3 with webstart. I first installed tomcat. Then put the following files at ~/jakarta-tomcat/webapps/cduview cduView.jar WEB-INF/ index.html NMSClient.jnlp The contents in NMSClient.jnlp is <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- file Hello.jnlp --> <jnlp codebase="http://172.17.72.251:30000/cduview" href="http://172.17.72.251:30000/cduview/NMSClient.jnlp"> <information> </information> <resources> <j2se version="1.2+"/> <jar href="cduView.jar"/> </resources> <application-desc main-class="com.comsat.nms .cduview.NMSClient"/> </jnlp> Under WEB-INF directory, I have only one file web.xml there, The contents is <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE mime-mapping PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN" "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd"> <mime-mapping> <extension> jnlp </extension> <mime-type> application/x-java-jnlp-file </mime-type> </mime-mapping> The contents of index.htm is <HTML> <BODY> <a href="http://172.17.72.251:30000/cduview/NMSClient.jnlp">Launch </a> <!-- Alternate HTML for browsers which cannot instantiate the object --> <br> <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/cgi-bin/javawebstart-platform.sh?"> Download Java Web Start</A> </BODY> </HTML> When I load the index page and click the link, the browser just gives me the contents of that jnlp file. Could you please tell me what I am doing wrong here? Thanks a lot, Iris

hi, I am using tomcat 4.1.17 - so my first question in reply is: if you have downloaded tomcat for testing jws, why aren't you using the latest stable version instead of using an old release. In tomcat 4 there is the main web.xml in the directory conf. the jnlp mime type is defined there (default). So this part of jws worked for me without problems. I don't know if it can work to specify a mime type for only one webapp. cheers Chantal
