Forge app error “No mime type could be found for file favicon.ico”

Apps generated using JBoss Forge get this error showing up in the server log:

JSF1091: No mime type could be found for file favicon.ico.  To resolve this, add a mime-type mapping to the applications web.xml

The quick fix is to add this to your web.xml:

<mime-mapping>
   <extension>ico</extension>
   <mime-type>image/x-icon</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>

Thanks that helped me. I was getting these errors on Apache Tomee 1.7.1 with Facelets. However why is the mime type not registered as default?

No idea, seems like it should be added. This was from a couple of years back too so i’m assuming it’s still an issue?
