You want to set up the MIME-Type "application/x-rcm+xml" on the client
and server.

That is, in the client's browser settings, configure
"application/x-rcm+xml" to be opened with your Java program. On the
server, configure the web server software (e.g. Apache) to send a
"Content-Type: application/x-rcm+xml" header when it serves the file.
