I get a Bad MIME type error when accessing the JNLP file?

Java Web Start 1.0 always downloads and uses the JNLP from the URL specified in the attribute, if the attribute is specified. The Web server must return the correct MIME type application/x-java-jnlp-file for that file. See the Developer’s Guide on how to configure your Web server to do this: http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/javawebstart/docs/developersguide.h tml If the href attribute is not specified, the download does not happen and the JNLP file is not cached. Thus, you can overcome this by removing the href attribute. However, note that the user will not be able to create shortcuts (Windows-only) and that the application does not show up in the Application Manager.
