 MimeType(String primary, String sub)
Constructor that builds a MimeType with the given primary and sub type but has an empty parameter list.
 MimeType(String primary, String sub, MimeTypeParameterList mtpl)
Constructor used to initialize MimeType, with a pre-defined and valid (or empty) parameter list.
 

Method Summary

Method Detail

getPrimaryType

public String getPrimaryType()
Retrieve the primary type of this object.

getSubType

public String getSubType()
Retrieve the sub type of this object.

getParameters

public MimeTypeParameterList getParameters()
Retrieve a copy of this object's parameter list.

getParameter

public String getParameter(String name)

toString

public String toString()
Return the String representation of this object.
Overrides:
toString in class Object

getBaseType

public String getBaseType()
Return a String representation of this object without the parameter list.

match

public boolean match(MimeType type)
Determine of the primary and sub type of this object is the same as the what is in the given type.

match

public boolean match(String rawdata) throws MimeTypeParseException
Determine of the primary and sub type of this object is the same as the content type described in rawdata.

writeExternal

public void writeExternal(ObjectOutput out) throws IOException
The object implements the writeExternal method to save its contents by calling the methods of DataOutput for its primitive values or calling the writeObject method of ObjectOutput for objects, strings and arrays.
Implements:
writeExternal in interface Externalizable

IOException - Includes any I/O exceptions that may occur

readExternal

public void readExternal(ObjectInput in) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException
