It's not a static utility class, becase each web app can configure their
mappings as they like, but the ServletContext.getMimeType() method is
probably
what you are looking for.
Different servlet containers have different ways to configure the
default
mappings, but any 2.2 container will let you define your own mappings
using
<mime-mapping> elements in the web application deployment descriptor
(file
"WEB-INF/web.xml"). See the servlet spec for more details, available at
<http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html>).
If you want a complete example of a file-handling servlet, you can look
at the
code from an open source servlet container -- for Tomcat 3.1, it's class
org.apache.tomcat.servlets.DefaultServlet.
