[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBSEAM-2000) add excel file type to DocType enum

add excel file type to DocType enum ----------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-2000 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2000 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Components: PDF Affects Versions: 2.0.0.CR1 Reporter: Dan Allen Assigned To: Norman Richards Priority: Minor Fix For: 2.0.1.GA Attachments: JBSEAM-2000-v1.txt, JBSEAM-2000-v2.txt Original Estimate: 5 minutes Remaining Estimate: 5 minutes The document store facility (org.jboss.seam.pdf.DocumentStore) is an excellent reuse library for those who want to push down files in their Seam-based application (outside of just using the PDF tags). However, the module has one major limitation. The file types are stored in an enum and thus cannot ever be changed (enums cannot be extended or overridden). Unfortunately this renders the library completely useless if you are not using one of the 3 built-in types (PDF, RTF, HTML). Since Excel downloads are so popular in business applications, it makes sense that even though Seam doesn't export excel, the file type could be added to allow those using Seam-based applications to take advantage of this excellent document storage design. I have included a patch, but the line is simply: EXCEL("xls", "application/vnd.ms-excel")
