Class UnknownResource

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Resource

    public class UnknownResource
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements Resource
    The class is an implementation of the generic Resource object (typically an item in a collection) representing a resource whose type is not yet known - typically because it uses an unregistered file extension. We attempt to establish a type for the resource when it is opened, by "sniffing" the content.
