How to set content type while uploading in to alfresco?

I am trying to upload files in to alfresco using API. Creating an xml input to the API.Mime type is setting like, Collection<MimeType> mimeTypes = MimeUtil.getMimeTypes(file); MimeType mimeType = MimeUtil.getMostSpecificMimeType(mimeTypes); if(mimeType == null) mimeType

The MimeUtil class which you are using is not a alfresco class right?
I think you need to use getMimetype() API from MimeTypeservice of Alfresco.
Also, if you post your code it will give more idea.

No, i am not using alfreco class. Its a simple POJO. Images and pdfs are uploading properly. Other file's mime type is reading as "application/octet-stream". So it is not setting properly in alfresco. I will post my code here.

       // Create the byte array to hold the data

You can use Apache Tika for doing that
Alfresco also use the Apache Tika for content manipulation


import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;

import org.apache.tika.metadata.Metadata;
import org.apache.tika.parser.AutoDetectParser;
import org.apache.tika.parser.Parser;
import org.apache.tika.sax.BodyContentHandler;
import org.xml.sax.ContentHandler;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {

    FileInputStream is = null;
    try {
      File f = new File("C:/Temp/mime/test.docx");
      is = new FileInputStream(f);

      ContentHandler contenthandler = new BodyContentHandler();
      Metadata metadata = new Metadata();
      metadata.set(Metadata.RESOURCE_NAME_KEY, f.getName());
      Parser parser = new AutoDetectParser();
      // OOXMLParser parser = new OOXMLParser();
      parser.parse(is, contenthandler, metadata);
      System.out.println("Mime: " + metadata.get(Metadata.CONTENT_TYPE));
      System.out.println("content: " + contenthandler.toString());
    }
    catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
    finally {
        if (is != null) is.close();
    }
  }
}
