Hi,

My environment:
jetspeed 1.3a2-dev
jdk1.3.1
windows 2000 pro
IE 5.5

I am having trouble with an html link displayed in a web page portlet.
The link is to an Excel file (.xls file extension).  When I click on the
link the raw text of the xls file is displayed rather than Microsoft
Excel opening the document.  I can, however, open the document in a
browser window (choosing the file) and get the correct display.

I have looked in email archives for apache, tomcat, jetspeed, and
turbine and found only one other email of someone else having the
question but no solution.  I have tried adding a mime-mapping
(application/vnd.ms-excel or application/octet-stream) to web.xml, I've
tried adding a mime.types file that is referenced in the
TurbineResources.properties (same mappings as tried in web.xml) but I
still get just the raw text of the file. I am restarting apache each
time I change the configuration.

It is unclear to me whether this is an issue with apache, catalina,
jetspeed, or turbine especially since I have not found any discussion of
this issue on any of the mailing lists.

This should be easy but it hasn't been.  I appreciate any help you can
provide.

Thanks
Lori
