I have tried inserting the mime type declarations into the individual
webapp/web.xml file but it still does not work.
Additionally files which have a filename like test.sample.xxx where xxx is
the mime type are not treated as files with mime type xxx but if I rename
the file to be testSample.xxx then they are treated as the correct mime
type.

As I understand it, 3.2 does indeed ignore /conf/web.xml
entirely. You have to put the mime types in the individual
application web.xml files.
Supposedly with 4.2 it goes back to looking at /conf/web.xml
