How do I configure WL6.1 to download svg Mime Types?

Question

I am trying to not only display an svg object on my screen, but also have full access to its SVGDocument object via Javascript in the pages that contain the embedded svg object. It works perfectly when I open it in a browser directly, but not from Weblogic.
          I can even serve it up on Weblogic, save the results of my JSPs as html, and open it from the file system and the code works fine.
          It's as if Weblogic is not protraying the embedded svg as a valid object with an object model.
          I have tried the following:
          1) I changed my .svg file to a .jsp and added the following line to try and force the browser to recognize it:
          <%@ page contentType="image/svg xml"%>
          2) I configured the svg mime type directly on the console.
          3) I also made sure that my WEB-INF/web.xml looked like this:
          <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.2//EN" "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_2.dtd">
          <web-app>
          <mime-mapping>
          <extension>svg</extension>
          <mime-type>image/svg xml</mime-type>
          </mime-mapping>
          <welcome-file-list>
          <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
          </welcome-file-list>
          </web-app>
          Any ideas? Thanks so much!

I've noticed this too. The issue seems to be that it considers space in and around your server tags significant. The best way to cut down on the space is to group your server tags and code closer together. Or course, this sacrifices a bit of code readability. You can either try to strike a balance between readability and white space, or try writing a small app that adds and removes unneeded whitespace from your jsp. That way you could pass the file through your formatter before posting it to yoru server and pass it back through to read it.
