Uploading files Mime Type not correct for Office 2007 default extensions.

user522382Aug 24 2009 — edited Jun 2 2010
hi all,

My company has recently moved over to MS Office 2007 and the default extensions for word, excel etc are now .docx, xlsx etc (ie xml based).
Unfortunately now when we upload files through APEX to the database the MIME TYPE value for these files isn't being recognised and not loadeding correctly into the APEX_APPLICATION_FILES table and subsequently any future retrieval of these files fails.

I could put some logic inthe up load procedure to look at the filename in APEX_APPLICATION_FILES and hard code in the releavnt mime types but this still causes problems when retrieving the content.

Has anyone come across this and got a workround? Is it a bug in AE?

regards

James

FYI - using APEX 3.0.2 over 11G.
