To view file attachment in peoplesoft - getting from webserver file web.xml

While viewing any attachment, we may get some trouble to open some files. It depends on File extention which is defined in the file web.xml in webserver..Here for example .doc files couldn't open in View attachment..For this case..

Please check the web.xml file as given in peoplebooks.......

"The web server determines the MIME type by looking at the extension of the attachment file and mapping it to a MIME type. The mapping is done in the following ways, depending on the web server and platform:

For Microsoft IIS, the mapping is done by using the standard Microsoft Windows extension association mechanism.
For Apache, the mapping is done by editing a configuration file called mime.types.
For WebLogic, a file called web.xml does the mapping.

The file web.xml is located in the WEB-INF subdirectory. This file contains a section that looks like this:






this file might be in your webserv folder.....
\FS89DMO\webserv\applications\peoplesoft\PORTAL\WEB -INF\ Web.xml

Please check and confirm once, you have the all file types on this....
