Re: [Springframework-developer] Re: Plans for mime type in Resource?

[Andy D. <an...@ma...>]

=46rom what I can tell, this appears to be related to JavaMail?  If so, it =
is=20
not what I need.  I'm using Spring's Resource interface to access, well,=20
general resources.  Some of these resources actually end up residing on a w=
eb=20
server, and may even have a .jsp file extension - even though the .jsp page=
=20
might end up generating a binary file of some specific mime type, which=20
the .jsp page will manually set on output.  In this case I cannot rely on=20
file extension.  It would be useful if the Resource interface could expose =
to=20
me a simple way to inspect the mime type.  If it is a classpath/file/simple=
=20
resource, then it could use the activation framework and detect the mime ty=
pe=20
by the file extension (hiding all the gory details from me) - if it is a=20
Resource loaded from a web server, then it could return the mime type that=
=20
was returned by the web server - and so on.  Am I approaching this the wron=
g=20
way?
