Use this information to add a MIME type definition.

The MIME type default definitions are in the mimetype-map.xml file available at https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-community-repo/blob/master/data-model/src/main/resources/alfresco/mimetype/mimetype-map.xml.

  1. Copy the default definition file and place it in a file called <extension>/mimetype/mimetypes-extension-map.xml.
  2. Modify the inserted MIME type to match your requirements. For example: 
     <alfresco-config area="mimetype-map">

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

          <mimetype mimetype="application/xxx" display="My Example Mimetype">
             <extension>ex</extension>
          </mimetype>

       </mimetypes>
    </config>

 </alfresco-config>

    An example file is provided in <extension>/mimetype/mimetypes-extension-map.xml.sample. You can include multiple files and each one is loaded automatically.

  3. Save the file.
  4. Restart Content Services.
The MIME type is available in the repository.
