I had placed the edits in the correct place as you have suggested. I was using Sun

Our system admin then reinstalled Glassfish 2.2.1 and I saw the same behavior.
Finally, when I deleted the domains/domain1/generated directory (after stopping the
server) and restarted the server, we saw that the new mime types added to web.xml were
being correctly used and delivered for the content-type header based on the file
extension.
Can anyone shed light on what the "generated" directory is meant for (atleast
for Sun Java servers) ? And why do edits made in xwiki's WEB-INF/web.xml file not get
"regenerated" into the generated directory?
My workaround therefore is to delete the generated directory before restarting the
server.
Hi.
I am test driving XWiki Enterprise for my group at work. Kudos and
thanks to the developers for putting together this fabulous app.
I
am having trouble with MSOffice-2007 documents attached to pages in the
wiki. The content-type header delivered by the server when accessing
such documents (with extensions .pptx, .docx or .xlsx for example) is
"application/octet-stream". While modern browsers such as Firefox offer
to open the document in the appropriate app (looking at the filename in
the content-disposition header I guess), IE6 unfortunately treats it as
binary data and offers to open it with WinZip.
I have read through a couple of threads in the xwiki-dev and xwiki-users
mailing
list archive, but following those directions did not resolve my issue.
So how can I fix
this issue? I have tried adding mime-mapping in
/domain/domain1/config/default-web.xml as well as
in
/domain/domain1/applications/j2ee-modules/xwiki-enterprise-web-2.1-milestone-1/WEB-INF/web.xml
like following -- but that has had no effect.
docx
application/vnd.openxmlformats
pptx
application/vnd.openxmlformats
xlsx
application/vnd.openxmlformats
Yes, this looks correct. In theory it should work. Make sure that you
put this in the right place in the web.xml file, since the order of the
elements matters. Search for the other mime-mapping elements already
present in the file, and add your mappings next to those.
If it still doesn't work, then it could be the app container. Which
server are you using?
The
content-type header still comes as application/octet-stream as shown
below:
bash> lynx http:///xwiki/bin/download/Sandbox/TestPage2/simple.xlsx
-head
-dump
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Sun Java System Application Server 9.1_01
Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=1556df25ad03500b4592d778a5e1; Path=/xwiki
Content-disposition: inline; filename="simple.xlsx"
Last-Modified: Wed, 02 Dec 2009 17:37:17 GMT
Set-Cookie: visitid=NMUOTURHA9P7GS5BM35MKJLN5WQSPYDL; Path=/
Content-Type: application/octet-stream;charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Language: en
I
have verified by introducing syntax errors and by other techniques that
the web.xml file is being read by the server when I perform a restart,
but the mime-mapping additions seem to have no effect.
Any help will be deeply appreciated.
