Package javax.activation Description

provides a free implementation of the java beansTM activation framework.

JAF links together beans and internet standards for specifying mime types and how mime types are processed.

Important files

Standard mime.types files are parsed by the JAF MIME handling classes to work out the mime types available on the local system.

Standard mailcap files (defined in RFC1524) are parsed by mailcap handling classes to work out what beans should be linked to what mime types.
