Hi folks,
I have recently started to use a tomcat-3.2.1 instead of the
old tomcat-3.1 version and encountered a strange configuration problem.
Currently I have mapped the old tomcat version 3.1 to the port 8080 and
new one (3.2.1) to 8088. Both use the same /conf/web.xml file (with no
differences):
[immo@jimbo immo]$ diff jakarta-tomcat/conf/web.xml
jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1/conf/web.xml
[immo@jimbo immo]$
which also includes the appropriate MIME-mapping for wap/wml-MIME type:
....
<mime-mapping>
<extension>
wml
</extension>
<mime-type>
text/vnd.wap.wml
</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
....
I also imagine that both server.xml configuration files are properly
configured (?), TOMCAT_HOME
is set. etc....
I have the same application (or the context) on both versions ,
this is under the 3.2.1.-version:
[immo@jimbo immo]$ ls jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1/webapps/spll/*
jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1/webapps/spll/WEB-INF:
classes lib web.xml web.xml~
jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1/webapps/spll/wml:
SPLLregister.wml start.wml start.wml~
and exactly the same structure under tomcat-3.1 folders:
[immo@jimbo immo]$ ls jakarta-tomcat/webapps/spll/*
jakarta-tomcat/webapps/spll/WEB-INF:
classes lib web.xml web.xml~
jakarta-tomcat/webapps/spll/wml:
SPLLregister.wml start.wml start.wml~
so basically those are identical.
But now the problem- when accessing
different tomcat versions the HTTP Content-type
headers differ. Here is what is given form the new version (tomcat-3.2.1)
(accessing the port via telnet for a demonstrating purpose):
[immo@jimbo immo]$ telnet localhost 8088
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to jimbo.tte.vtt.fi.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET /spll/wml/start.wml HTTP/1.0

and here is from the old version (Tomcat-3.1):
[immo@jimbo immo]$ telnet localhost 8080
Trying 127.0.0.1...

Note the difference : text/plain versus text/vnd.wap.wml ! Now the
question is , what I'm doing wrong or what/how should I configure
Tomcat 3.2.1 that the /conf/web.xml - file will also be valid for the
newversion
(so that I will get a text/vnd.wap.wml - header from.wml files ) ??
Now it doesn't seem to have any effects with Tomcat 3.2.1.
Servlets are working similar way on both configurations, but these static
wml-files are the problem.
Any help is appreciated !

Immo
