Mime type in portlet descriptor

[Marcel Dullaart <md...@epo.org>]

Hi all,

Is it anyway possible in portlet code, to retrieve the mimetype(s) 
supported by the portlet from the portlet descriptor?

Just before calling RenderResponse.setContentType(), I'd like to check if 
the mime type to be set is supported.

Thanx,
Marcel

Hi Stefan, thanx for your answer.

Too bad there is no API for this. And no I do not know the MIME types 
because I do not code the deployment descriptor.
I am creating a framework to ease the devlopmemnt of portlet applications. 
One of teh things it does is setting the mime type.
Now I wanted to check the mime type to make sure I set it to something 
applicable and prevent exceptions being thrown.

Hi,
no there is no API for this, however, as you also coded the deployment 
descriptor you should now the MIME types your portlet supports, right?
