---------------------------------
Summary: Not possible to restrict default mime types
Key: TIKA-1573
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1573
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Pavel Micka
Priority: Minor
I am facing the following problem. I am using MagicNumber detector, but the
detection is slow for my purposes, so I have decided to limit the number of
detected types. However this is not easily possible as:
* Mimetypes does not have any remove method.
* getDefaultMimeTypes method by default load the full set
* MimeTypes constructor does not accept parameters (mimes with magics)
* method add is package friendly (so one must construct the wrapper in the
same package, which is awkward)
* MimeTypes class is final, so it does not allow to subclass it a improve the
implementation in object oriented way
My workaround was to force the expected implementation (public add) with
reflection:
Method addMethod =
decrMimeTypes.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("add", MimeType.class);
addMethod.setAccessible(true); //I am really ashamed to do
it this way, but the class is final and method package friendly *facepalm*
addMethod.invoke(myMimeTypes,
defaultMimeTypes.getRegisteredMimeType(m.toString()));
I can imagine that the current implementation is done this way to be immutable,
but this can also achieved with parametrized constructor (point 3) with no
effect on immutability of the class. Or with explicit flag (set by method call)
that would disallow any further object modifications.
