Henning Gross updated TIKA-661: ------------------------------- Attachment: MimeType.getExtensionsPatch.txt Patch that adds getExtensions() and addExtension() as well as a test to core component. It does not remove but adjust the old getExtension() and setExtension() methods for code compatibility but they are now obsolete. > MimeType class does contain a String with accessor named Extension. This > should be a List<String> Extensions due to several reasons. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: TIKA-661 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-661 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mime > Affects Versions: 0.9 > Reporter: Henning Gross > Labels: features, newbie, patch > Attachments: MimeType.getExtensionsPatch.txt > > > The javadoc for the method suggest that it will return the "preferred > extension" for a MimeType. Acutally its the first Extension deserialized from > tika-mimetypes.xml. The method would have to be renamed to > getFirstExtensionInList(). This pretty much points at the fact that this > method makes no sense at all. > There are several use-cases in which one would want to know ALL known valid > extensions for one mime type. I will submit a patch later today. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
