Re: Serving ActiveX from Tomcat ?
- Original Message - From: Dick Eastin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: users@tomcat.apache.org Sent: Saturday, July 28, 2007 2:10 AM Subject: Serving ActiveX from Tomcat ? Hi - Sorry to be asking a dumb question; but, maybe the answer is simple and fast and will save me even more hours. I'm serving a dll from webapps/ROOT to IE. I have added the mime type for the .dll as application/octet-stream to the server's web.xml (same as apache's mime type). The component seems to arrive at IE; but, does not render visually nor recognize function/parameter access. This has been tested on 4.0.6 and 5.5.17. (also tried a recommended mime type application/x-msdownload I think it was.) Its been a long long time since I played with ActiveX I actually think the x-msdownload mime type is right, and this is a guess but I think its probably the CODEBASE setting in the OBJECT tag that is causing the problem. I forget the details but it probably has something like codebase = yourDLL in it the thing is... thats relative to the page serving it. So it could be something as silly as codebase = /yourDLL will make it reference properly. If its working, elsewhere I think the problem is there somewhere. It works fine served from Apache. Any clues ?

Re: Serving ActiveX from Tomcat ?
With stuff like this, I've had good success simply using telnet and a manual GET to see what the correct headers are supposed to look like. A sniffer would work just as well. Good luck!
