Let me clarrify the problem. I am using Tomcat on a Unix system. I am using it stand-alone without Apache. I have 2 problems. I have an html file with links to serveral PDFs in it. When I click the link Tomcat loads the PDF into the browser as ascii text rather than launching Acrobat. If I navigate to the PDF without going through Tomcat, my Netscape Browser opens Acrobat and loads the PDF just fine. I have confirmed that there is a mime-type declaration in the web.xml file in the conf directory. My other problem is I have a unique image format that is having the same problem. If I navigate to it outside of Tomcat, Netscape will launch the application I have set up in the preferences file, but if I go through the server it loads the image file as ascii garbage in the browser. Is there something special that I need to do in the Tomcat configuration that I am missing?
Thanks,
