problem with .doc and .xls mimetype

Hi :)

i have a problem with the function MimeTable.getContentTypeFor(file). It
doesn't work with .doc files (and other microsoft Office documents). the
function return the default mimetype -> application/octet-stream.
It looks like there is no reference to .doc mimetype in the mimetable :/ 

Can you help me please? 

thanks :)

Hi,


Use the method of import javax.activation.MimetypesFileTypeMap to getting
mime type.
String mimeType = new MimetypesFileTypeMap().getContentType(file.getName());

Hi Gary,

This is clearly not a Jackrabbit related problem.
But you can find more information here [1].

Note that using sun.net.www.MimeTable is specific to Sun
Java implementation and therefore can be dropped in a
JVM update, but more importantly it will not be supported
in other Java implementations.

a solution that worked for me was to use jmimemagic (
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jmimemagic/):

       byte [] data=....;
        String mimetype = Magic.getMagicMatch(data).getMimeType();
