public abstract class MIMEResolver

extends Object

This class is intended as superclass for individual resolvers. All registered subclasses of MIMEResolver are looked up and asked one by one to resolve MIME type of passed FileObject. Resolving is finished right after a resolver is able to resolve the FileObject or if all registered resolvers returned null (not recognized).

Resolvers are registered if they have their record in the Lookup area. E.g. in form : org-some-package-JavaResolver.instance file.
