[saleem javeed]

Hi,

I have recently started using weblogic, i have one application running in tomcat where i can view doc file, if i am uploading the same application in weblogic 8.1, it is not opening in doc format.
In tomcat i can set mime-type in conf folder using the given below

<mime-mapping>
<extension>doc</extension>
<mime-type>application/msword</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>

an application will have a web.xml in it. This entry has to be put into that only.

If your browser doesnt has the plugin to open the word files, that may also be a problem.

What is exactly happening, when you try to open ?

I have some links on a JSP page (application hosted on weblogic) which point to word documents/.PPT. When i click on the links, they should open up the file download dialog of windows (save to disk/open from current location). Instead, it shows up junk in a new window.

In my Jsp page I have used window.open function, this functinality is working fine on other server like Websphere and Tomcat but getting issue in weblogic server. Is there having any setting at Weblogic server end. Please help me, i ma facing this issue since long time..

In web.xml where I to made the changes, either in weblogic web.xml or in my application web.xml, I have tried both things but not able to resolve it.
