This is configurable in the web.xml
<!-- Just an example -->
<mime-mapping>
<extension>xsd</extension>
<mime-type>text/xml</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
However, this will not take in consideration that IE blows.
Serving a correct DOCTYPE declaration in combination with omitting the
xml-declaration will put FF, Chrome etc into standardsmode but IE in tag
soup.
As per: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XHTML#DOCTYPEs
"XML declaration
A character encoding <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_encoding> may
be specified at the beginning of an XHTML document in the XML declaration
when the document is served using the application/xhtml+xml MIME type. (If
an XML document lacks encoding specification, an XML parser assumes that the
encoding is UTF-8 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8> or
UTF-16<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-16>,
unless the encoding has already been determined by a higher protocol.)
For example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
The declaration may be optionally omitted because it declares as its
encoding the default encoding. However, if the document instead makes use of
XML 1.1 or another character encoding, a declaration is necessary. Internet
Explorer <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer> prior to version 7
enters quirks mode <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quirks_mode> if it
encounters an XML declaration in a document served as text/html."
Does this help?
Cheers,
Viktor
