oracle.irm.engine.content.type
Interface ContentType

public interface ContentType

Sealed and unsealed content type information. A content type object contains all the file type information for content that can be sealed. The content type specifies the file extension(s), it's sealed file extension, and the associated MIME types. When content is sealed, the content type allows the sealing process to correctly identify the MIME type, if for example the file extension is not available.

Creation

Instances of Content Type objects can be created using the following factory style method(s).

ContentType object = createContentType(
    extensions,
    sealedExtension,
    sealedMimeType,
    mimeTypes,
    expectOverwrites);

Collections

Collections for ContentType objects can be created using the following factory method. This method creates the most appropriate collection implementation class for storing ContentType elements.

 Collection<ContentType> object = createContentTypes();

XML Serialization

Content Type instances can be serialized as an XML document. This XML document can also be used to recreate a Content Type object. The following XML document shows an example Content Type in XML form.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<content:ContentType xmlns:content="http://xmlns.oracle.com/irm/content">
<extensions>html</extensions>
<extensions>htm</extensions>
<sealedExtension>stml</sealedExtension>
<sealedMimeType>application/vnd.sealedmedia.softseal.html</sealedMimeType>
<mimeTypes>text/html</mimeTypes>
<expectOverwrites>false</expectOverwrites>
</content:ContentType>
