[opencms-dev] How to upload multiple files and set content/file type?

[Mario Jäger]

Hi,

Yes, you have to control that with one suffix per resource type. Your example ".typea_html" does work. You can not configure a mapping with suffix "typea.html".

The calculating of the default resource type for the given file name is done in org.opencms.loader.CmsResourceManager.getDefaultTypeForName(). There, the extension of the file name is calculated to find the associated mapping.
And the extension is the string with the last dot in the file name. If you have a file name "instance1.typea_html", the calculated extension is ".typea_html". And that does match your mapping with suffix ".typea_html". If you
have a file name "instance1_typea.html", then the calculated extension of the file name is ".html". And that does not match the mapping with suffix "typea.html".

Kind Regards,
Mario.
