Using the webserver part of Tomcat to server up the application
WebClient application displays gibberish when using Tomcat as a webserver
CAUSE:
Improperly configured Tomcat.
FIX:
In order to make this work with Tomcat, please follow these steps:
1. Locate the <Tomcat_install_dir>/conf/web.xml file
2. Locate <mime-mapping> in the <web-app> section
3. As the last mime mapping add the following:
</mime-mapping>
<mime-mapping>
<extension>prowcapc</extension>
<mime-type>application/progress-wcappcab</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
4. Save web.xml file
5. Deploy the WebClient application under the designated Tomcat web server directory, i.e.: <Tomcat_install_dir>/webapps/examples/<your_app>
6. Test
Please also note, we have not certified Tomcat as a WebServer for WebClient.
Only these webservers have been certified: IIS, Apache and iPlanet/Netscape.
