[users@httpd] Loading MIDlets with Apache

[Maciej Gawinecki <mg...@gmail.com>]

I am trying to deploy and test my application of emulator of palmtop, 
provided by wireless Toolkit [1], according to the tutorial from 
Developers Works [2]. And so, I tried to install MIDlet application on 
palmtop emulator, by downloading it from my local web server, but I 
still the get the error:

OTA Error Code (38) - The server did not hava a resource with the 
correct type (code 406) or the JAR downloaded has the wrong media type. 
[text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor]

I've seen this is common problem, which can be helped by defining MIME 
types at the server side. So I tried it with both:
* Apache 2.2 by editing <.htaccess> file in the local directory, where 
MIDlet is provided:

   addtype application/java-archive jar
   addtype text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor jad

* Tomcat 5.5 by editing <web.xml> configuration file

     <mime-mapping>
         <extension>jad</extension>
         <mime-type>text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor</mime-type>
     </mime-mapping>
     <mime-mapping>
         <extension>jar</extension>
         <mime-type>application/java-archive</mime-type>
     </mime-mapping>

But it does not resolve the problem. Can you help me ? What could be the 
reason ?

Best,

Maciej
