Name
<mime-mapping>
Synopsis
A servlet may need to know which MIME type a file extension corresponds to. The <mime-mapping> element can define the mappings an application requires:
<mime-mapping> <extension>wml</extension> <mime-type>text/vnd.wap.wml</mime-type> </mime-mapping>
Most containers provide default mappings for the most commonly used
extensions, such as .html,
.htm, .gif,
.jpg, and so on, but if you need to be absolutely
sure that a mapping is defined for your application, put it in the
web.xml file.
