That would make better sense.
If the object in the context is a bean, the path ./inputStream will make JXPath invoke getInputStream(), right? And the same for mimeType of course. So this leaves the user to make the decision if he passes an object which has a getInputStream() method, or if he passes the stream directly. > And the reader > could check to see if the object has a getMimeType() method, and if so, > get the mime type from that.
