Method Detail

getContentType

public java.lang.String getContentType()

Defines the content-type for this element. The content-type is used as a hint how to process the contents of this element. An element implementation should restrict itself to the content-type set here, or the reportprocessing may fail or the element may not be printed.

An element is not allowed to change its content-type after ther report processing has started.

If an content-type is unknown to the output-target, the processor should ignore the content or clearly document its internal reprocessing. Ignoring is preferred.

Specified by:

getContentType in class Element

Returns:

the content-type as string.
