You shouldn't have to add any mapping for msword (.doc) files - that's
already in conf/web.xml as downloaded. I added this for .xls:
<mime-mapping>
<extension>xls</extension>
<mime-type>application/msexcel</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
restarted Tomcat (5.5.12, in my case), and both IE and Firefox start up
my spreadsheet program (OpenOffice), although IE prompts me to do so.
You should only put the mapping in the one place; don't know what
happens if you update both web.xml files.
