Mimetypes

This page provides guidance on how mimetypes are deployed.

Avoiding restarts when mimetype properties do not change

Starting in 3.8.1, the MimetypeManager includes support - which is enabled by default - for determining if a mimetype's properties are different or not when a mimetype is being updated. If the properties are not different, then no call is made to the Manage API. This avoids a restart, because if a call is made - even if the properties are not different - the Manage API will trigger a restart in MarkLogic.

This behavior can be disabled by setting the "mlUpdateMimetypesWhenPropertiesAreEqual" property to "false".
