• Environment:

  Websphere 6.1.0.15 / IBM J9 VM / Windows XP

On Websphere 6,1, *.pom files can't be downloaded from Archiva via respository requests.
For instance, the URL
http://localhost:9081/archiva/repository/internal/commons-lang/commons-lang/2.1/commons-lang-2.1.pom
leads to an exception like this:

[30.03.08 14:55:15:671 CEST] 00000032 WebApp E [Servlet Error]-[RepositoryServlet]: java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.srt.SRTServletResponse.setContentType(SRTServletResponse.java:1076)
at it.could.webdav.DAVTransaction.setContentType(DAVTransaction.java:193)
at org.codehaus.plexus.webdav.simple.ReplacementGetMethod.process(ReplacementGetMethod.java:157)
at it.could.webdav.DAVProcessor.process(DAVProcessor.java:79)
at org.codehaus.plexus.webdav.simple.SimpleDavServerComponent.process(SimpleDavServerComponent.java:154)
...

The most likely cause seems to be that there is no mimetype for *.pom files listed in Archiva's resource file "archiva-mime-types.txt".

I added this mimetype by changing line 69 of "archiva-mime-types.txt" from
application/xml xml xsl
to
application/xml xml xsl pom

This way, .pom file are treated as xml files.

After that change the exception mentioned above did'nt occur anymore.
