Using Windows Media Player video files (wmv) with Tomcat 5.0

[Denis Ahearn <da...@superioredge.com>]

Does anyone know how to get Windows Media Player video files (wmv) to work
within Tomcat 5.0 (or if this is even possible)?  I have a link in a JSP
page to a wmv file.  When I click on the link, instead of the video
appearing in Windows Media Player, all I see is a binary dump of the video
file in my browser (like  I opened the file in a text editor).
 
Thanks,
Denis

Check the MIME type mapping in your web app's web.xml. For instance, add 
this in webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml:

  <mime-mapping>
    <extension>wmv</extension>
    <mime-type>video/x-ms-wmv</mime-type>
  </mime-mapping>
