Hi Jan, If you are using Oxygen 15.2 just overriding the "URLStreamHandler.getContentType()" should be enough. Also in 15.2 you have the new API method:

ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.Workspace.open(URL url, String imposedPage, String imposedContentType)

So you can open an URL resource by identifying it as a DITA Map by calling it something like:

Workspace.open(url, null, "application/ditamap");

About your specific questions:

· 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.

This happens because you added the "xml" extensions to the list of identified DITA Map extensions.

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

It is possible but I would advise against it because of the side effect you observed above. We have API:

ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.PluginWorkspace.setGlobalObjectProperty(String, Object)

which could be used early when the workspace access plugin is activated to force the option like:

PluginWorkspace.setGlobalObjectProperty("dita.map.file.patterns", "*.ditamap, *.bookmap, *.xml")

Hi

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.
