Configure Allowed File Types for Document Management

ADONIS allows the import and management of external files in the database (DMS functionality). For this purpose, you can define a whitelist of file extensions. Only file types that are specified in the whitelist may be uploaded.

For security reasons, only a very restricted set of file types may be added to the whitelists by default. To configure what file types are eligible, you need to customize a configuration file. In order to do so:

  • Open the folder <Tomcat installation>/webapps“ and open the file ADONIS15_0.war with a file archiver. Edit the file WEB-INF/web.xml which can be found inside.

  • In both of the following sections, the parameter <param-value> specifies a comma separated list of allowed file types. Change the value of this parameter in these sections as needed. Save the changes afterwards.

Section 1:

Section 1

<context-param>

<description>Extensions allowed for uploading files</description>

<param-name>allowedExtensions</param-name>

<param-value>doc,docx,ppt,pptx,xls,xlsx,csv,txt,pdf,rtf,png,jpg,gif,jpeg,bmp,zip,rar,7z,axr, xml,bpmn</param-value>
