public class FileTypeDescriptor

extends ContentDescriptor

This sub-class of ContentDescriptor enumerates those content descriptors that are file formats. That is, data of this content type can be saved to a file. It helps differentiate from content types that are not file formats.

When a Processor advertises a set of supported content descriptors, you can check if it's a FileTypeDescriptor before trying to save the stream to a file.
