Hello.
I've a server running w2003k with IIS 6 and Tomcat 5.5.12. Also, I'm using
JK 1.2 to mapping tomcat for IIS.
All the system work fine, and very stable. However, when i try to download
some files (like .xls, .doc, .rar) from a application in Tomcar, the binary
contento f file is opened by Internet Explorer.
After a research on the web, I found something about the mime-mapping, that
I must put on the conf\web.xml file. I put the entries like this:
<mime-mapping>
<extension>xls</extension>
<mime-type>application/vnd.ms-excel</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
<mime-mapping>
<extension>doc</extension>
<mime-type>application/vnd.ms-word</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
But, even after restart the tomcat/iis won't work.
Other tests tha I' maked:
1- Try to download a xls file directly from IIS: Ex:
http://localhost/test.xls. It work fine.
2- Try to download a xls file from um tomcat application, using tomcat. Ex:
http://localhost:8080/files/test.xls It work fine.
3- try to download a xls file from tomcat application, using integration
with IIS. Ex: http://localhost/files/test.xls The problem occurred.
Someone can please help-me ?
