Claus Köll reopened JCR-1172:
-----------------------------


hi angela,
if i add a node to jackrabbit i add the jcr:content node as nt:resource.
if i open now this document with webdav i found that the DefaultHandler
looks if the jcr:content node is from type nt:unstructured,.if not 
the child properties of the content node will be deleted and the properties will be set again.
so there is also a problem with the mimetype. if i do that with a office 07 document (.docx)
the original mimetype "application/msword" will be changed to "application/octet-stream".
i think we must restore the original mimetype.
what do you think ?
BR,
claus

> After saving a Excel File through WebDAV the mimetype will be changed.
> The mimetype for a Win2000 Exel File is application/vnd.ms-excel. This will be changed to application/msexcel.
> Also problems makes the new office 07 format (docx,xlsx,pptx). They will also be changed to application/octet-stream (default mimetype).
> We have a lot of file types that we store in jackrabbit that are not in the properties file (MSInfoPath-, OutlookMsg-, MsAccess-Files, ...)
> I think it will be better to let the mimetype property untouched if a mimetype is present so we must not put all the possible mimetypes in the property file.
