The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome.

Getting A File’s Mime Type In Java
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately,
ReplyDeletemimeType = file.toURL().openConnection().getContentType();
does not work, since this use of URL leaves a file locked, so that, for example, it is undeletable.
However, you have this:
mimeType= URLConnection.guessContentTypeFromName(file.getName());
and also the following, which has the advantage of going beyond mere use of file extension, and takes a peek at content
InputStream is = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file));
mimeType = URLConnection.guessContentTypeFromStream(is);
//...close stream
However, as suggested by the comment above, the built-in table of mime-types is quite limited, not including, for example, MSWord and PDF. So, if you want to generalize, you'll need to go beyond the built-in libraries, using, e.g., Mime-Util (which is a great library, using both file extension and content).
The JAF API is part of JDK 6. Look at javax.activation package.
ReplyDeleteMost interesting classes are javax.activation.MimeType - an actual MIME type holder - and javax.activation.MimetypesFileTypeMap - class whose instance can resolve MIME type as String for a file:
String fileName = "/path/to/file";
MimetypesFileTypeMap mimeTypesMap = new MimetypesFileTypeMap();
// only by file name
String mimeType = mimeTypesMap.getContentType(fileName);
// or by actual File instance
File file = new File(fileName);
mimeType = mimeTypesMap.getContentType(file);
From roseindia:
ReplyDeleteFileNameMap fileNameMap = URLConnection.getFileNameMap();
String mimeType = fileNameMap.getContentTypeFor("alert.gif");
