setting the content-type in metadata before parsing

[Daniel Knapp <da...@mni.fh-giessen.de>]

Hello,

i want to set the content-type of a file before i parse it. I've seen on the Tika Website that this is possible and an advantage during the parsing process.
What is the right name and value of this attribute (expect for pdf = application/pdf ?)? Is the following method right?

metadata.set("attribute-name", "value"); 

Hope i'm clear.

Regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

I think you're looking for:

Metadata met = new Metadata();
met.set(Metadata.CONTENT_TYPE, "application/pdf");

HTH!

Cheers,
Chris
