I have a couple of questions related to opening DITA maps in combination with a custom protocol handler.

In our system Dita maps are stored with an “.xml” extension on the file system. No difference with regular topics.

Some stuff I had to do:

· I had to change a setting in the preferences
File Types => DITA maps file patterns = “*.ditamap, *.bookmap , .xml”

· Next thing I did was adding following override in my CustomProtocolHandler

@Override

public String getContentType() {

// Set ditamap mimetype for maps

// This changes oXygen behavior so it shows the question to open in map manager or editor

WorkItem workItem = AuthoringBridge.getWorkArea().getWorkItemByPath(url);

if (workItem.getObjectType().equals(SelectableObjectTypes.Map)) {

return "application/ditamap";

}

return super.getContentType();

}

Some questions/remarks I have:

· When I did an “Open map in editor” from the map manager panel I got a popup asking to open in the map manager or editor. Would expect it to open it in the editor immediately.

· Is it possible to set the “DITA maps file patterns” through code? Otherwise all users have to do this manually.

Thanks in advance.
