Content handler beans can be defined to handle particular +MIME content. The JAF unites internet standards for declaring content +with JavaBeans™. + +The JAF defines two mechanisms within the framework. The first, the +file type map, specifies the MIME content type for a given file. The +default implementation of this uses the UNIX mime.types format to map +filename extensions to MIME types. The second mechanism, the command +map, specifies the actions that can be applied to a given MIME content +type. The default implementation of this uses the standard mailcap format +to map actions to JavaBean™ classes. These beans can then view, edit, +print, or perform whatever other action is required on the underlying +resource. </longdescription> </pkgmetadata> |
