I would expect that you'd have a default media type for when you
as "what media type goes with this extension" but that multiple
media types would be allowed to map to the same extension.
If you look at RFC 3023 [1] you'll see that both the text/xml and
application/xml media types have the .xml extension. As such, I would
expect to get the same answer of the ".xml" extension for both media types.
I don't think the current system supports this.
As I understand it, the code:
myApp.getMetadataService().addExtension("xml", MediaType.APPLICATION_XML);
will just shift the problem from the application/xml to the text/xml
media type in
that I now won't get an extension returned for text/xml.
