Attachment in DocumentReview Demo Example is not shown properly in Solaris.

Question

I deployed the DocumentReview Demo Example on Solaris O/S.
On the Initiate tab of DocumentReview BPEL Process, I specified the following :-
documentTitle :- Alshaya XLS File
documentName :- alshaya.xls
URI :- file:/home/soa/attachments/alshaya.xls
assignees :- jcooper.
alshaya.xls file is in /home/soa/attachments folder on Solaris O/S.
But when I login into the WorkList Application using "jcooper", the attachment (alshaya.xls) file doesn't opens up properly.
It opens up in some wierd format in IE 6.0 or IE 7.0.
Please do suggest a proper solution for the same, so that the attachment opens up properly.
The proplem is with all the extensions (.doc, .xls, .pdf).

Answer 1

The following worked for me in 10.1.3.1, basically the mimeType of the
attached file needed to be specified in Solaris O/S, Please see the below code :-
I was calling the BPEL Process from my JSP Page, so had to do the following from JSP :-
"<Attachment_1Name><![CDATA[" + actualFileName + "]]></Attachment_1Name> " +
"<Attachment_1CT><![CDATA[" + multi.getContentType(parameterName) + "]]></Attachment_1CT> " +
"<Attachment_1Present>true</Attachment_1Present> " +
"<Attachment_1><![CDATA[" + "file:/home/soa/attachments/" + actualFileName + "]]></Attachment_1> ";
