Link translation without content type

i am trying to publish a website which uses a XMLHttpRequest without defining a content type.
the result i am getting is that
www.internalurl.com/internalPath/?somedatabutnofile is translated in
www.externalurl.com/externalPath/internalPath/?somedatabutnofile.
As you can see the internal path is also added in the url, which results in a 404.
How can force correct translation on this path?
Thanks
PS: i am using ForeFront TMG 2010 SP2

Link to Document Content Type issue - links not relative

I'm using the Link to Document content type in a library in order to link to documents in other libraries. We just migrated to 2010 from WSS 3.0 (2007) and are having an issue. We view our site internally thorough the internal machine address/name
and also have users connecting remotely from an external url. In 2007, it didn't matter whether we were internal or external, all links were apparently stored as relative because the "link to document" items worked fine either way. This
was despite entering the url fully and not relative. When viewing/editing the properties of that item, it shows you the full url applicable to where you are viewing it...internal if internal, external if external.
However, after the migration to 2010, all links that existed previously are fine, but any new items created using link to document apparently no longer store them as relative so either the internal or external users get the wrong link. For example,
if I put in the link as http://servername/library/doc the external users get that same link and it doesn't work, since it should be like https://myurl/library/doc. Viewing/editing the properties of the item shows an absolute url of whatever location
the item was added. For instance if I'm connected externally and add an item, even if i only enter it as relative, it creates the link as https://myurl/library/doc and then the internal users end up having to connect via that url and that is just a pain
due to AD and certificate issues. The internally created links are obviously not accessible at all from the outside.
I've also tried storing the link as relative when creating the item but it seems to overwrite it with the absolute link.
This is causing quite an issue with us. Does anyone have any insight as to what is going on and how to fix it?
thanks!

Hmm...I thought I had the thread set to email me if there were replies and I never received an email so I thought there were no replies. I came back to this since another issue cropped up that is related and there were replies!
I cannot recall how things were set up exactly in 2007 and there's no way to look back now. I'm a novice when it comes to AAM/DNS/IIS really. Maybe you can suggest what it should look like?
We have our site which is accessed internally by http://machinename . Externally, we use https://sharepoint.mydomain.com .
In AAM we have http://machinename listed in the default zone with the same url for internal and public. We also have https://sharepoint.mydomain.com listed, in the internet zone and it also has the same url for both internal and public.
In IIS, the sharepoint site has bindings for port 80 and 443, but nothing specific to https://sharepoint.mydomain.com
DNS....I'm not sure what should be here, if anything.
We can access the site just fine externally, there are just a few instances where some links do not work correctly and point to the internal url instead of external when you are external. The original post is one time and the other, found the other
day, is a search box webpart that points to a relative url for the results page but externally it ends up going to the internal url.
I'd appreciate any guidance. Thanks!

Restore SharePoint Database to new server - What to do about external content type?

I currently run SharePoint 2010 and have a content database back-up which I want to restore to a new server.
I was able to restore to a new server and everything seems to be working, except that I have one list in my previous site which had an external content type in it linking to a database for our ERP system. The ERP system's database will also be located on
the new server (same as the new location for the content database). How do I link the external content type from my list to the new location of the ERP database?
One thing which I've tried is to create a new BDC and set up a new external content type within the list. That seems to point to the new location just fine, except that I would have to remap all every single item in the list individually.
Any help would be appreciated.

You will need to modify your BCS Model to reflect the new location of your ERP database. Another option is to use SQL Aliases, which will allow SharePoint to think the new location is still by the old name.
http://mmman.itgroove.net/2012/07/setting-up-a-sql-server-alias-with-sharepoint-server-2010/
This is assuming that you are retiring the old database server.

Content Type Question

I created a term set called 'Document Category' that has 10 different terms (e.g. Quote, Agreement, Diagram, etc.) that describe the types of documents users save into our main document library. I then created 10 different Content Types, each with it's
own template, so, from the doc library, users can click Files > New, and choose the appropriate content type to create a document. I want to be able to sort in the library using a custom column I created, called 'Document Category', that links to the 'Document
Category' managed metadata term set. When users create a new document based on one of the content types, I want the 'Document Category' field automatically populated in the Document Information Panel with the correct term. My problem is that I can't find a
way of getting each individual content type to default to it's matching term. I can set the custom column to use a default value (e.g. Quote) so it comes up automatically filled in for the 'Quote' content type. Because I'm linking the 'Agreement' content type
to the same custom column, though, it obviously then defaults to 'Quote', too. I was hoping to have a different term linked to each content type. Does anyone know how to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated! -Pete

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to set the 'Document Category' field automatically.
I recommend to create SharePoint 2010 Platform workflow and then set an empty Managed Metadata column using the following format: Term Name| Unique Identifier based on the item content type.
You can create workflow as below and start the workflow automatically when an item is created:
Thank you for your understanding.

REST Query to Get Content Type Name

I'm just getting started learning to use the SharePoint REST interface. One of the first things I'd like to do is return the content type name for a list item in a document library (the document library is configured with several content types). From
what I've read, it looks like I need to use the $expand query option. So, my REST query looks like this:
http://localhost/_api/web/lists/Documents/Items()?&$select=ContentType/Name&$expand=ContentType/Name
But it's not working. I can't "dig" out the content type name property. In other words the $expand query option is not working. I just receive the following which includes a link to the content type:
<entry m:etag=""2"">
<id>4078e129-ac4b-44b8-b469-bcc083f2268d</id>
<category term="SP.Data.DocumentsItem" scheme="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/scheme" />
<link rel="edit" href="Web/Lists(guid'cd710fd1-057e-4ee7-b0bd-1f014218ea3e')/Items(36)" />
<link rel="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/related/ContentType" type="application/atom+xml;type=entry" title="ContentType" href="Web/Lists(guid'cd710fd1-057e-4ee7-b0bd-1f014218ea3e')/Items(36)/ContentType"
/>
<title />
<updated>2013-04-12T00:16:26Z</updated>
<author>
<name />
</author>
<content type="application/xml" />
</entry>
I've tried difference variations and if I just use "$expand=ContentType" then I get all the list items with the content type fully expanded within each item.
What am I missing?

It's been awhile since this question got asked, but I figured i'd post for anyone who happens to stumble
on it.
Try this:
http://localhost/_api/web/lists/Documents/Items(<item
id>)/ContentType?$select=Name

Issue in creating a add link to a document content type on a doc lib name with , / special characters

hi,
i am having a requirement to create/use "add link to a document" content type for a item in the document library.
so i got the code from below site :
http://howtosharepoint.blogspot.in/2010/05/programmatically-add-link-to-document.html
my issue is, if teh document library names are single words - like MOM, model, procedures etc this functionality is working fine and i am able to view the link to a document as an item.
but when the doc lib name contains special characters like , or / , this link to a document content type functionality is NOT working.
can anyone pls point me whether this is the actual issue ? ie, if the doc lib name contains special chars like , or / my
add link to a document wont work? is there any restrictions/limitations for doc lib names in SharePoint ?
for eg: my doc lib names are :
1) Report and analysis, Data
2) form / template
3) map/ plot
help is highly appreciated!

hi,
its talking abt the subsite names and folders and NOT the document librraies.
is there any link which gives the naming convention / restricted names for document libs or splists , from msdn / blogs.technet.
thnx

Problem "Link to a document" content type within document set - Bug?

Hello,
I'm having an issue with the "Link to a document" content type in one of my document libraries. The issue is when you create a link to a document inside a document set:
The result is that the users get redirected to the wrong URL (../docsethomepage.aspx instead of ../docsethomepage.aspx?ID=.......), and instead of seeing the actual document set they started from, with the new link (or any document that is already in the
document set) the users see a default view of a generic document set - not the one they started from:
Any suggestions on how to fix this? One library has this faults and one does not. Our SharePoint server is up-to-date.

Hi,
I reproduced the issue in different versions of SharePoint, it works in SharePoint Server 2013, and the issue occured to Office 365. I then tried enabling “Launch forms in a dialog”, it worked.
I will forward the issue to our internal feedback channel. And since the issue occurs to Office 365, please create service request with online engineer for root cause.

Custom Content type based on "Link to a Document" does not open new folder in a dialog

Hi,
We have created a custom Content Type based on "Link to a Document" (0x01010A) into a document library. When I use the New Document button on the ribbon, the "Link to a document" form appears on the same window, not as a dialog. If we
use the "link to a document" content type it works fine.
This issue occurs when creating the content type from the SharePoint UI as well as via XML (provisioning the content type).
Is it a SharePoint bug or are we missing something?
Thanks!
Sergio

Hi S3rgiones,
I can reproduce your issue, when create a custom content type based on “Link to a Document” content type, create item using the content type, it will open the NewLink.aspx page in the same window not the modal dialog.
In this situation, you can try to custom the content type and customize the form page for it, specify it in the content type customization, if this doesn’t work, you may need to custom the content type not inherit from the default link to
a document, but customize it yourself.
Thanks,

Get original URL for Link to a Document content type

Hello,
I'm having a SharePoint doc library with ItemAdded event receiver attached to it and "Link to a Document" content type enabled. My general question is:
How to get URL that the link points to?
I'll show you how I'm trying to achieve that:
SPWeb parentWeb = properties.Web;
if (properties.ListItem.ContentType.Name == LinkContentTypeName)
object urlFieldValue = properties.AfterProperties["URL"];
if (urlFieldValue != null && urlFieldValue.ToString() != String.Empty)
// continue
But I always get null so I can't even get inside IF statement. I've tried to install ItemAdded event receiver as synchronous, but it didn't make a difference. I'd appreciate any ideas.
Regards
Tomasz

This is not very convenient solution, because ItemUpdated can be executed more than once. However this certainly will work, so I'll accept this as a workaround. Actually I've found another one. I'm parsing link aspx file and I'm getting the URL
from mso:URL tag:
<%@ Assembly Name='Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' %><%@ Register TagPrefix='SharePoint' Namespace='Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls' Assembly='Microsoft.SharePoint' %><%@ Import Namespace='System.IO' %><%@ Import Namespace='Microsoft.SharePoint' %><%@ Import Namespace='Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities' %><%@ Import Namespace='Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls' %><html xmlns:mso="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:msdt="uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-00AA00C14882"><Head> <META Name='progid' Content='SharePoint.Link'></head><body><form id='Form1' runat='server'><SharePoint:UrlRedirector id='Redirector1' runat='server' /></form></body></html>

Content type "Link to a Document" to content type Document SET

Hello,
Could you please assist.
I have a customized document sets.
I added the content type "Link to a Document” to content type Document SET.
I uploaded several documents to each document set. There are several identical documents in different document sets.
How can I arrange for uploading just a link to the documents, but not the additional documents?
In other words, how to arrange for convenience for users to download a link?
I mean them not to enter
http://server/files ,
but a certain “dropdown” appeared, a kind of menu with a choice of downloaded documents.
Suppose, I added to each file its own attribute link and this link. I want to present in form of creation “Link to a Document”
There are 2 forms of creation. The first one is where we point a link. The second one is where we point the attributes.
For example:
I have two document sets: Project 1 and Project 2.
There are 2 documents “instruction.doc” and “invoice.xls” uploaded to Project 1. Each document has a field – link (a link to this very document).
I want to add a link to “invoice.xls” in Project 2.
I want to do it in that way a user could choose a list of links from a dropdown menu.
Thanks

Lookup column is the attribute of file. Attribute can not be upload! . Did you try to use the content type of link to document? If yes, you can understand my question. I want to change uploaded.aspx ( link of document) and add lookup column to this form.
Standart scenario: User create link to docunent. 1. Prees button start. 2. Input text link to upload.aspx form 3. Set attributes new. Aspx I want: 1. Press button. 2. User press dropdawn menu and choise neddeng link. 3. Set attributes Plese read my question
again. Sorry for my not good english

Attachment without multipart content type

Hello,
My application receives mails sent from some different customers and parses the mail's attachments. The problem is that all these customers send their mails in a very different ways. Some of them send mails with "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;" header while some others send mail with the following headers (among some other):
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: application/xml
Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2014 18:33:26 +0000
From: <[email protected]>
Message-ID: <1392143606.220.1@cls0361>
Subject: orders000005311382.xml
To: <[email protected]>
There is no "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;" header at all. When I look at these messages with MS Outlook I can see that they have proper attachements.
Now I have 2 problems:
1. I would like to produce such an email myself since resending the received emails changes the message headers. There are lots of examples how to send a message with an attachment in Java with MimeMultipart object (this produces "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;") but I could not find one which sends the message with "Content-Type: application/xml" header only without any multipart header. I suspect that there are some specific applications which send mails in that way - not standard mail clients.
2. I would like to get the attachment of a received mail with "Content-Type: application/xml" header. The following code works for "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;" only:
public void invoke() throws Exception {
/* Available Variables: DO NOT MODIFY
    In : String mimeMessage
    In : String encoding
    Out : String[] mimeParts
* Available Variables: DO NOT MODIFY *****/
javax.mail.util.ByteArrayDataSource ds = new javax.mail.util.ByteArrayDataSource(mimeMessage, "multipart/mixed");
javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart mm = new javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart(ds);
java.util.ArrayList<String> al = new java.util.ArrayList<String>();
getAttachements(mm, al, 1);
mimeParts = new String[0];
mimeParts = al.toArray(mimeParts);
private void getAttachements(javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart mm, ArrayList<String> al, int depth) throws Exception {
if (depth > 9) {
    return;
int mimePartsCount = mm.getCount();
for (int i = 0; i < mimePartsCount; i++){
    javax.mail.internet.MimeBodyPart mbp = (javax.mail.internet.MimeBodyPart)mm.getBodyPart(i);
    //System.out.println(depth + ": " + mbp + " " + mbp.getContentType() + " " + mbp.getContentID() + " " + mbp.getDisposition());
    if(mbp.getContentType().startsWith("multipart")){
      javax.mail.util.ByteArrayDataSource ds2 = new javax.mail.util.ByteArrayDataSource(mbp.getInputStream(), "multipart/mixed");
      javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart mm2 = new javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart(ds2);
      getAttachements(mm2, al, depth+1);
    } else {
      if (mbp.getDisposition() != null && mbp.getDisposition().startsWith("attachment") && !mbp.getContentType().contains("signature")){
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(mbp.getInputStream(),encoding));
        String s = br.readLine();
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
        while (s != null) {
          sb.append(s);
          s = br.readLine();
        al.add(sb.toString());
Could anyone suggest anything which may be helpful for resolving 1 or 2?
Best regards

You are right! parsing of such not-multipart mail may look like that:
if (contentType.startsWith("application/xml")) {
            //just a plain attachement which is a mail's content and not a multipart.
            mimeParts = new String[1];
            //according to RFC 2822 empty line separates headers from the body
            mimeParts[0] = mimeMessage.substring(mimeMessage.indexOf("\n\r")).trim();
} else {
            //multipart mail
            javax.mail.util.ByteArrayDataSource ds = new javax.mail.util.ByteArrayDataSource(mimeMessage, "multipart/mixed");
            javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart mm = new javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart(ds);
            java.util.ArrayList<String> al = new java.util.ArrayList<String>();
            getAttachements(mm, al, 1);
            mimeParts = new String[0];
            mimeParts = al.toArray(mimeParts);
Thanks!

Setting up an external content type without having to change it to NTLM authentication?

Referring to: https://www.kenplaysviola.com/content/sharepoint2010-business-connectivity-path-unavailable
and tested to be true. However, I have a site that I am not using NTLM - is there a way around this???

Hi,
Based on your description, my understanding is that you can’t
set up an external content type with Basic authentication web application.
What errors have you got?
I have done a test in my SharePoint, when I opened Basic authentication site with SharePoint Designer, I got an error
”Access to this web server is disabled by default because it is controlled by basic authentication and doesn't use SSL…”.
But I could create an External List in the Basic authentication site successfully. I set up an external content type with NTLM authentication site. Then I created an External List in the Basic authentication
site which referred to the existing external content type, it worked fine.
So if you don’t want to change your web Application to NTLM authentication, try to create another web Application with NTLM authentication, then create a site collection and create an external content type,
last create an External List in the Basic authentication site referring to the existed external content type in NTLM authentication site.
Also, here is a blog about
Access denied by Business Data Connectivity, you can take a look at:

Servlet Responses without a Content-Type

Hi,
<p>
Is it possible to configure OC4J running in a full iAS install not to set a default Content-Type header if the servlet code does not set one?
<p>
e.g. Using code such as:
public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
                      HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        //response.setContentType(CONTENT_TYPE);
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
        out.println("<html>");
        out.println("<head><title>My Servlet</title></head>");
        out.println("<body>");
        out.println("The servlet has received a GET. This is the reply.");
        out.println("</body></html>");
        out.close();
}There are no 'default-mime-type' attributes in either the global-web-application.xml or orion-web.xml files. However, a debugger reveals that the AJPHttpServletResponse has a contentType member variable set to 'text/plain' when it is passed to the Servlet. This then gets used as a value for a Content-Type header in the response sent to the browser.
<p>
Is there anywhere else in the server's configuration that could be providing this default value? The documentation states that "If default-mime-type is not specified, then there is no default content type."
<p>
This is required to allow requests to be proxied through a Servlet and in cases where the proxied response doesn't have a Content-Type set, the Servlet should not set one either.
<p>
Thanks,
<p>
Andy.

Hi Andy,
I am not fully sure I understand your question but I will try and clarfiy the AS architecture which might help answer your question.
The HTTP server is the "front-end" piece that receives ALL incoming requests. The HTTP server is a licensed version of Apache and we have written a module called mod_oc4j which allows for the HTTP server to communicate with the OC4J instance. We use a protocol called AJP to communicate between HTTP and OC4J.
The AJPHttpServletResponse is the response that you are seeing being passed between these 2 modules and as the documentation state OC4J does not set any default mime types. This AJPHttpServletResponse is solely used for communication between HTTP and OC4J, I would however check the HTTP configuration to see if there any mime-settings there.
Hope this helps.
