ok for those that are interested, I have solved the mystery. It appears
that the system wide web.xml is no longer supported in Tomcat 3.2.x because
it was a non-standard extension to the Servlet specification. All web
application configuration is now handled in WEB-INF/web.xml files within the
webapps.
So if you put:
<mime-mapping>
<extension>
wml
</extension>
<mime-type>
text/vnd.wap.wml
</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
<mime-mapping>
<extension>
wmlc
</extension>
<mime-type>
application/vnd.wap.wmlc
</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
<mime-mapping>
<extension>
wmls
</extension>
<mime-type>
text/vnd.wap.wmlscript
</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
<mime-mapping>
<extension>
wmlsc
</extension>
<mime-type>
application/vnd.wap.wmlscriptc
</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
<mime-mapping>
<extension>
wbmp
</extension>
<mime-type>
image/vnd.wap.wbmp
</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
in the webapp section of your webapps/yourWebapp/WEB-INF/web.xml (ie NOT in
conf/web.xml) it works.
