Subject: TC6 ${CATALINA_HOME}/conf/web.xml Is this the place
to constrain the mime type?

I want to 'reject' (if that's the right word) any http get
with mime type != application/xml

Do you mean .html and .jsp are not valid? That might make life interesting. It will be difficult to stop clients from accepting at least text/html in addition to application/xml.

Wrong way round?

Background.
Currently I generate a template (outline XML) for an atom feed I run.
This is 'wrong' (IMHO). I have a tiny server visible to the web.
I want to use REST to 'get' this template (hence restrict it to application/xml) so if you|anyone does a GET on this url I want to 'refuse' you content, by
returning an http 'error'..... code TBD, I'm sure Roy defined one :-)

So unless the GET is for application/xml I want to return nothing.

Doesn't work that way. You basically want to authenticate the user (you) not restrict by mime-type, which IO believe you mean the accept header, which most browser will include the application/xml
