When i click the document i didn't get any popup. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>But when i upload through my java code, i am not able to see the related file icon like msword, pdf and so on. Do you know why it is? </SPAN><BR /><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Is there anything wrong in my code while setting the mimetype or do i need to set the encoding. If so how can i achive this?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 24 Jul 2006 11:10:34 GMT srinivasan 2006-07-24T11:10:34Z Failed to set the mime type for uploading file https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/failed-to-set-the-mime-type-for-uploading-file/m-p/11047#M4291 Hi Developers, I am trying to import the msword file to alfresco repositry thru plain java code.
