Including mime-mapping in web.xml not working?

[andrew_d_mackenzie]

When I include the following XML chunk:

<mime-mapping>
<extension>cer</extension>
<mime-type>application/x-x509-ca-cert</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>

in my web.xml deployment descriptor I get the following exception:

[WARN] Unable to process 'file:/C:/Users/andrew/Documents/DevProjects/
WebApps/ta/war/WEB-INF/web.xml' for servlet validation

abd my DevMode server is not started correctly.
Simply removing that element causes the error to go away.

It seems to appear in the 2.3 servlet web.xml DTD as specified, but
maybe
GWT doesn't fully support it?

I believe this is fixed in GWT 2.1 (not yet released, but you can try
milestones)

Thanks Tomas. I must get into the habit of checking issues list first!

I won't try the milestone, but will look forward to having it fixed in
2.1
