On document upload to the Content Engine, Workplace detects the document's MIME type, and stores the MIME type in the Content Engine. Workplace uses the following order of precedence to determine a document's MIME type:
mime-mapping
entries in the Workplace web.xml file.application/octet-stream
. null
and the Content Engine resolves the mime type.You customize MIME mappings in the web.xml file. If you modify the file to include any extended characters, save the file as UTF-8.
To customize MIME mappings:
<mime-mapping>
entries, such as in the following example.
<mime-mapping>
<extension>doc</extension>
<mime-type>application/msword</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
<mime-type>
value for the applicable extension type. To add a MIME mapping, insert a new <mime-mapping>
element.
