i do not have control over the Apache server course its just a webspace for me to host the files can i install it in my webspace ?
No, Apache uses mime types out of its configuration directory and reads this at start up. You are going to have to talk to your system administrator to get the additional mimes installed. This is all a bit new to Apache of course, so these mimes will not yet be standard.

I have gotten my host to add the MIME type for both the JAR and JAD to the cpanel but i still can't get it to work is there something wrong with my wml code?(oni the big2garden link is working)
This is a screenshot of wat i got instead of saving the file in a JAD format http://www.la-kopi.com/~mog/java.jpg

Well I got your question. The source code you attached is right no problem whatsoever. But did you check the cell phone as well. Does it support jad/jar files? has it got J2me capabilities.? Has it got support for OTA Provisionning?. Has it got downloadable applications option?
"....which is clearly the WRONG mime type. "
I've had no response to that! And MY site does NOT work with text/plain!

The MIME type for a JAR file is application/java-archive.
The MIME type for the JAD file is text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-desc
