match

public boolean match(MimeType type)
Determine of the primary and sub type of this object is the same as the what is in the given type.

match

public boolean match(java.lang.String rawdata) throws MimeTypeParseException
Determine of the primary and sub type of this object is the same as the content type described in rawdata.

writeExternal

public void writeExternal(java.io.ObjectOutput out) throws java.io.IOException
The object implements the writeExternal method to save its contents by calling the methods of DataOutput for its primitive values or calling the writeObject method of ObjectOutput for objects, strings and arrays.
Implements:
writeExternal in interface java.io.Externalizable
Throws:
java.io.IOException - Includes any I/O exceptions that may occur

readExternal

public void readExternal(java.io.ObjectInput in) throws java.io.IOException, java.lang.ClassNotFoundException
