Interface MimeTypeDetector
- All Known Implementing Classes:
- MimeTypeDetectors, NullMimeTypeDetector, TikaMimeTypeDetector
public interface MimeTypeDetector
MIME-type detection libraries must provide thread-safe implementations of this interface to enable ModeShape to use the
libraries to return MIME-types for data sources. Implementors are expected to have a public, no-arg constructor.

IOException
- Returns the MIME-type of a binary value, using its supplied content and/or its supplied name, depending upon the
implementation. If the MIME-type cannot be determined, either a "default" MIME-type or

- Parameters:
name
- The name of the data source; may be null
.binaryValue
- The value which contains the raw data for which the mime type should be returned; may be
null
.
- Returns:
- The MIME-type of the data source, or optionally

- If an error occurs reading the supplied content.
