[regrep-comment] MIME Types for ExtrinsicObject.

[Uday Subbarayan <uday.s@sun.com>]

In the ebxml registry/repositry, I found that the MIME type for the 
ExtrinsicObject is NOT mandatory. This leads to a problem when I 
implement the REST interface to the ebxml reg/rep.
The problem in the REST implementation is that ,(for example)when I 
construct & send back the HttpResponse back to the client for the 
"getRepositoryItem" method of the QueryManager, the MIME type should be 
set correctly. From the RepositoryItem object I will get the DataHandler 
and then stream the response back to the client.

If the RepositoryItem is "ExtrinsicObject", and if the MIME type is 
*null*, then there is a problem  to set the correct MIME type. It would 
be bit hard to find out & set the correct MIME type(which MIME type for 
which object) and this can easily be solved if the MIME type is forced 
as "mandatory" for the ExtrinsicObject.
