GNU JAF is a framework for declaring what beans operate on what MIME type data.
|
||
|
|
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.
