Hi Christopher, Inside the gz file is a java jar file that was compressed using pack 200 compression using an ant task.
I was able to get jnlpdownloadservlet installed (comes with jdk) and working on Tomcat 6.0.20. Also, just in case I added an line to my jnlp file to support download of the gz files even though that tag is only supported via jre 6u10 and above. This new feature for jre 6u10 and above supposidly does not require the servlet running in Tomcat. So for now I am using the only way I could find to work with pack 200 compressed files. Gee the things I let you Tomcat folks talk me into :-) This was an additional task in order to move from the Apache Web Server to Tomcat to serve java web start apps. Many Thanks, -Tony --- On Mon, 10/19/09, Christopher Schultz <ch...@christopherschultz.net> wrote: > From: Christopher Schultz <ch...@christopherschultz.net> > Subject: Re: Tomcat 6.0.20 support for serving via http java pack 200 jars. > How? > To: "Tomcat Users List" <users@tomcat.apache.org> > Date: Monday, October 19, 2009, 1:26 PM > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Tony, > > On 10/19/2009 7:18 AM, Tony Anecito wrote: > > I am serving up pack 200 conpressed files in Tomcat > and getting an > > error about support.
