unsure what your question means.

If you meant is "application/x-fribbity" and official mime type: no
"application/x-fribbity" is an example, fake mime type for the purpose
of this bug report. The point is that javaws is supposed to register my
own mime type; it should modify local mime type configuration files.

If you meant, "is this behavior specified somewhere": yes, see the JNLP spec
http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/mrel/jsr056/index2.html. See Section 
3.5:

"association element: The optional association element is a hint to the
JNLP client that it wishes to be registered with the operating system as
the primary handler of certain extensions and a certain mime-type. The
association element must have the extensions and mime-type attributes,
and may contain the two optional sub elements description, and icon."

That spec describes how javaws is supposed to behave, and how it does
behave on other platforms.

Hope that answers your question.
