custom icon set by setPropertyValue disappears

I have an Action Seam Bean and a list of the currently selected documents called selectedDocs

My button cycles the list and changes the icon of the documents in this way:


for (DocumentModel selectedDoc : selectedDocs) {

selectedDoc.setPropertyValue("icon", "icons/archive.png");

}

where archive.png is an icon stored in the nuxeo.war

Now, the icon changes, but if i logout or create a new file in the same workspace it disappears and it's replaced by the default icon.

I tried calling documentManager.save(); (documentManger is the CoreSession) hoping that it would have made the icon change permanent, but it doesn't change this behaviour.

The default MimetypeIconUpdater listener probably overrides your changes

Any workaround?

use another listener that overrides the default behaviour in your case, makijng sure it's executed after the default one: http://explorer.nuxeo.org/nuxeo/site/distribution/current/viewContribution/filemanager.core.listener.icon--listener

The correct solution is to call CoreSession#saveDocument after setting the property and the icon no longer disappear.
