If you don't pass mimeTypeId to createDataResource service as an IN
parameter, the service itself calls DataResourceWorker.getMimeType() method
inline to set the mime type of that data resource. The
DataResourceWorker.getMimeType() uses FileExtension entity to get the mime
type based on the extension of the uploaded file. If FileExtension entity
do not contain the mapping for that particular extension, the default is set
to "application/octet-stream".
This leaves us with a question here, what extension does the file you are
uploading have? FileExtension entity of course don't have a mapping for
that extension which is the reason you are seeing this behavior.
