Due to the registered types, flat TypeDetection is already possible, i.e.
the assignment of types (e.g. to a URL) only on the basis of configuration data.
If, however, you imagine special cases (e.g. modifying the file extension of a
Writer file from .sdw to .doc), it quickly becomes clear that you cannot always
get a correct result with flat detection. To be certain to get correct results,
you need deep detection, i.e. the file itself has to be examined.
And that is exactly the function of DetectServices. They get all the information
collected so far on a document and then decide which type to assign it to.
In the new modular model, such a detector is meant as UNO service which registers
itself in the office and is requested by the generic type detection if necessary.
Therefore you need two pieces of information:
See service TypeDetection and his configuration for further information.
Example: "com.company.division.DetectService"
Note that this really means the implementation name of the service.
Because it's not possible otherwise to distinguish between more than one
registered detect services in same office installation! But it's possible for
the generic type detection to create a UNO service by his implementation name too.
Generic type detection searches for a registered DetectService for an already flat detected type. If any could be found it will be created and used by calling methods of this interface. It gets a MediaDescriptor which contains information about the document which should be detected and must return
