Do Microsoft Wopi support duplicate file names in a container (folder)?

Question

Our company is currently implementing a WOPI server. Does Microsoft Wopi (Word) support duplicate file names in a container (folder)?

Our document management system supports duplicated filenames in a folder. If yes, we will try to implement it. Otherwise, we have to rethink.

Answer 1

WOPI methods like GetFile and PutFile use a parameter file_id which is a string that uniquely identifies a file. If your DMS supports duplicate filenames, don't use them as the file_id parameter for WOPI. You surely have a different (and unique) parameter at your disposal that you can utilize.
