Class FileTypeMap

java.lang.Object  |  +--javax.activation.FileTypeMap

Direct Known Subclasses:

MimetypesFileTypeMap

public abstract classFileTypeMap

extends java.lang.Object

The FileTypeMap is an abstract class that provides a data typing interface for files. Implementations of this class will implement the getContentType methods which will derive a content type from a file name or a File object. FileTypeMaps could use any scheme to determine the data type, from examining the file extension of a file (like the MimetypesFileTypeMap) to opening the file and trying to derive its type from the contents of the file. The FileDataSource class uses the default FileTypeMap (a MimetypesFileTypeMap unless changed) to determine the content type of files.
