Inappropriate return type in RegistryEntry#getType
--------------------------------------------------
Key: SYNAPSE-371
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SYNAPSE-371
Project: Synapse
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.2
Environment: N/A
Reporter: Andreas Veithen
The method RegistryEntry#getType returns the content type of the registry
entry. The return type of this method is java.net.URI, which is not an
appropriate Java type to represent a content type. Note that in most cases the
content type is of the form "xxx/yyy" which is also a valid (relative) URI.
However for a content type such as "text/xml; charset=UTF-8" this causes
problems: see
(http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-Remote-configuration-via-HTTP-based-registries-p18020345.html).
The return type should be changed to javax.mail.ContentType or alternatively
java.lang.String.
Note that we need to check the impact on registry implementations hosted
outside of the Synapse project (if there are any).
