The X-Machine evaluates the media type settings specified in the
Content-Type
field of an incoming HTTP request. It distinguishes
between text and binary documents. A text document can be an XML document or a
non-XML document. A binary document can only be a non-XML document.
The distinction between XML document, non-XML text document and binary document is made according to the media type as shown in the following table:
Media type | Type of Tamino Document |
---|---|
*/xml or */*+xml, for example:
|
text, XML document |
|
text, non-XML document |
nothing or blank | text, XML document |
All other media types |
binary document |
XML documents are handled according to their Tamino schema definition, if
it exists (Tamino also allows the storage of XML documents without a matching
schema definition). This includes validating against the information stored in
Tamino's Data Map and indexing according to the
tsd:physical
settings in the schema.
