meta tags: and

Hello Dev's,

What is the difference between the meta tags
<lenya:contentType> and 
<lenya:extension>?

Is it right to say:

xhtml ressource type:
- contentType: xml
- extension: xhtml

opendocument ressource type:
- contentType: odt
- extension: odt

"image" ressource type
- contentType: jpg/png/gif???
- extension: jpg/png/gif???

And why bother to store the extension in a meta tag, instead
of 
retrieving it directly from the file?

More concretely, I am trying to display the correct file
extension in 
the directory listing of webdav. This way, you can edit the
files with 
Dreamweaver. I'm currently using the 
<lenya:extension> meta tag and 
getting the extension with doc.getSourceExtension(), see 
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38926
Now, this works fine with odt, but fails with xhtml: I tried
to add 
<lenya:extension>xhtml</lenya:extension>, but
then you cannot load the 
page in Lenya anymore.

Thanks for some hints,
Renaud

The extension is the source extension, so this is right if
you
store your documents using the xhtml extension.

There's the problem - you can't access the source without
knowing the extension.

This is not really the way to go, the source extension is
only meant for
internal storage purposes. I'd recommend to use custom meta
data to
store the WebDAV extension, unless there's a better
solution.
