angela commented on JCR-1172:
-----------------------------

Is my assumption correct that "After saving a..." means that you modify an existing resource and that
the mimetype was original (after creating the resource) correct?

in this case the change you propose is:

Modify DefaultHandler.java in order not to set the jcr:mimeType property if is already present.
The drawback would be, that the mimetype will not be adjusted even if the file node gets replaced by a file
with a different mimetype. For that - maybe not realistic (?) - case, the used would have to remove the resource and add the replacement.

if that is would you are looking for and if you consider the drawback as negligible, i will make that
modification.

kind regards
angela

regarding the mimetypes.properties file: i think it would be wise to allow for some extension mechanism via the configuration. the only think that inhibited me from doing so, was the static nature of the MimeResolver and the IOUtil, which are not connected the dav servlet (and its config)... ideas welcome :)

> 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.
