This is the main entry point for clients. Supply a filename, a PREMIS ID type, a PREMIS ID value, and receive back a JhoveResult that contains the raw Jhove metadata, the PREMIS object metadata appropriate for the MIME type of the file, and perhaps another set of metadata if the profile calls for it for that MIME type. Note that Jhove must be configured properly for this to work. See the readme.txt for the project to see how to do this.

Parameters:

filename - Path to the file to be analyzed

idType - ID type of the file to be analyzed

idValue - ID value of the file to be analyzed

Returns:

JhoveResult containing the original Jhove metadata and transformed metadata.

Throws:

edu.harvard.hul.ois.jhove.JhoveException

java.lang.Exception
