DFS does not accept certain file contents

ForeMost

Hi,

I had encountered an interest problem related to file content type.

my environment:

DFS 6.0SP1.

JAW-RI generated proxy.

when I tried to create object of certain types such as .rar or .exe, the server returns a http error code 500, error message "Internal Server Error".This occurs regardless if I am using MTOM or BASE64.

Upon more inspection of the SOAPResponse, I discovered the error is due to this exception.

- <stackTrace>

<className>com.emc.documentum.fs.services.core.impl.execution.proto.payload.PayloadPolicy</className>

<fileName>PayloadPolicy.java</fileName>

<lineNumber>1</lineNumber>

<methodName>execute</methodName>

</stackTrace>

- <stackTrace>

<className>com.emc.documentum.fs.services.core.impl.execution.proto.transformation.DataPackageToDataPackagePayloadAdapter</className>

<fileName>DataPackageToDataPackagePayloadAdapter.java</fileName>

<lineNumber>27</lineNumber>

<methodName>execute</methodName>

</stackTrace>

- <stackTrace>

<exceptionBean>
  <exceptionClass>com.emc.documentum.fs.services.core.CoreServiceException</exceptionClass>
  <genericType>java.lang.Exception</genericType>
  <message>com.documentum.fc.common.DfException: File C:\Documentum\bea9.2\domains\DctmDomain\rar is missing or invalid format rar specified; Additional msg - file name: dfs-43001.tmp</message>

I found out there are two ways to get around this error.

#1, set the content format to null instead of "rar", or "exe".

#2. rename the extension, ex. from rar to zip.

Anyone encountered a similar problem or know if there's away to customize this payload policy?

Thank you,

what exception do you get at client side? can you find some errors in server log?

from the simple exception trace, the exception happens at DFC layer.
