Synopsis: 
MIME-TYPE handling

Description:
/tomcat/conf/web.xml supports MIME type addtions. However, the added types works fine in only ROOT repository. For example, I deployed /tomcat/webapps/bbs application(i.e. bbs repository) and I put test.jnlp(for Java Web Start) into the directory. Although definitely I added some necessary MIME types to /tomcat/conf/web.xml, I couldn't launch my JWS application from bbs app. I tried to put a new web.xml which also contained jnlp mime type into /tomcat/webapps/bbs/WEB-INF, but the result was the same. So I tested the launcher html and jnlp into /tomcat/webapps/ROOT and I found it worked well. Through all the possible cases I could examine, I concluded that Tomcat MIME type addition now supports only ROOT app.
