How to preserve original document create and modified date during upload

[douglascrp]

Hello.

Were you able to achieve this using the t-engine way of doing things?

This documentation seems talking about the steps. It is too confusing. 

https://docs.alfresco.com/content-services/latest/develop/repo-ext-points/metadata-extractors/

For one it is asking to extend the interface  to org.alfresco.repo.content.metadata.MetadataExtractorPropertyMappingOverride and include the bean here under metadataExtractorPropertyMappingOverrides:

<bean id="extractor.Asynchronous" class="org.alfresco.repo.content.metadata.AsynchronousExtractor" parent="baseMetadataExtracter">
      <property name="nodeService" ref="nodeService" />
      <property name="namespacePrefixResolver" ref="namespaceService" />
      <property name="transformerDebug" ref="transformerDebug" />
      <property name="renditionService2" ref="renditionService2" />
      <property name="renditionDefinitionRegistry2" ref="renditionDefinitionRegistry2" />
      <property name="contentService" ref="ContentService" />
      <property name="transactionService" ref="transactionService" />
      <property name="transformServiceRegistry" ref="transformServiceRegistry" />
      <property name="taggingService" ref="taggingService" />
      <property name="metadataExtractorPropertyMappingOverrides">
         <list>
             <ref bean="extracter.RFC822" /> <!-- The RM AMP overrides this bean, extending the base class -->
<ref bean="extracter.custom" />
         </list>
      </property>
   </bean>

I could however, get it to work only when i override this property file via custom image build : https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-transform-core/blob/master/engines/tika/src/main/resources/Tika... 

Ideally there should be a way to just configure here: https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-transform-core/blob/master/engines/tika/src/main/resources/tika... as something like:

{"extractMapping":{
   "author":["{http://www.xyz.org/model/customcontent/1.0}author"],
  },
 "timeout":20000,
 "sourceEncoding":"UTF-8"}

but its not clear per documentation as to how this can be done.

Indeed, it isn't very clear.

I've tried creating a custom image, but it didn't work in my case.

Can you please share what and how you did it?

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Yeah i just build the image using this: https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-transform-core/blob/master/engines/tika/Dockerfile

and added custom property here: https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-transform-core/blob/master/engines/tika/src/main/resources/Tika...

And then used the newly built image.

To test i changed 

author=demo:author

I have created an alternative deployment for Docker that allows apply this configuration.
