How to add new MIME type

To add a new MIME type

Create following 2 files in alfresco/extension folder

1. custom-services-context.xml

2. mimetypes-custom-extension.xml

Add the following to the 1^st file – custom-services-context.xml

<beans>

<bean id="mimetypeConfigService" class="org.alfresco.config.xml.XMLConfigService" init-method="init">

<constructor-arg>

<bean class="org.alfresco.config.source.UrlConfigSource">

<constructor-arg>

<list>

<value>classpath:alfresco/mimetype/mimetype-map.xml</value>

<value>classpath:alfresco/mimetype/mimetype-map-openoffice.xml</value>

<value>classpath:alfresco/extension/mimetypes-custom-extension.xml</value>

</list>

</constructor-arg>

</bean>

</constructor-arg>

</bean>

</beans>

In the mimetypes-custom-extension.xml file define your new mime type here for an example - .abc

<alfresco-config area="mimetype-map">

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Mimetype Map">

<mimetypes>

<mimetype mimetype="application/abc" display="ABC File Type">

<extension default="true">abc</extension>

</mimetype>

</mimetypes>

</config>

</alfresco-config>
