Content handler beans can be defined to handle particular +MIME content. The JAF unites internet standards for declaring content +with JavaBeans(tm). + +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(tm) classes. These beans can then view, +edit, print, or perform whatever other action is required on the +underlying resource. +</longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> |
