How to set content type while uploading in to alfresco?

[shibu]

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 = MimeUtil2.UNKNOWN_MIME_TYPE; 

and using "mimeType.toString()" to set the content type.  As it is giving "application/octet-stream" mimetype for most of the files, the mime type is not setting exactly while uploading.

How can I solve it?

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.

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();    }  }}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
