Constructor Summary

ActivationDataFlavor(java.lang.Class representationClass, java.lang.String mimeType, java.lang.String humanPresentableName) Construct a DataFlavor that represents an arbitrary Java object.

ActivationDataFlavor(java.lang.Class representationClass, java.lang.String humanPresentableName) Construct a DataFlavor that represents a MimeType.

ActivationDataFlavor(java.lang.String mimeType, java.lang.String humanPresentableName) Construct a DataFlavor that represents a MimeType.

 

Method Summary
boolean	equals(java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor dataFlavor) Compares the DataFlavor passed in with this DataFlavor, calls this.isMimeTypeEqual.
java.lang.String	getHumanPresentableName() Return the Human Presentable name
java.lang.String	getMimeType() Returns the MIME type string for this DataFlavor
java.lang.Class	getRepresentationClass() Return the representation class
boolean	isMimeTypeEqual(java.lang.String mimeType) Is the string representation of the MIME type passed in equivalent to the MIME type of this DataFlavor.
java.lang.String	normalizeMimeType(java.lang.String mimeType) Called for each MIME type string to give DataFlavor subtypes the opportunity to change how the normalization of MIME types is accomplished.
java.lang.String	normalizeMimeTypeParameter(java.lang.String parameterName, java.lang.String parameterValue) Called on DataFlavor for every MIME Type parameter to allow DataFlavor subclasses to handle special parameters like the text/plain charset parameters, whose values are case insensitive.
void	setHumanPresentableName(java.lang.String humanPresentableName) set the human presentable name

Constructor Detail

ActivationDataFlavor

public ActivationDataFlavor(java.lang.Class representationClass,
                            java.lang.String mimeType,
                            java.lang.String humanPresentableName)

Construct a DataFlavor that represents an arbitrary Java object. This constructor is an extension of the JDK's DataFlavor in that it allows the explicit setting of all three DataFlavor attributes.

The returned DataFlavor will have the following characteristics:

representationClass = representationClass
mimeType = mimeType
humanName = humanName

Parameters:

representationClass - the class used in this DataFlavor

mimeType - the MIME type of the data represented by this class

humanPresentableName - the human presentable name of the flavor

ActivationDataFlavor

public ActivationDataFlavor(java.lang.Class representationClass,
                            java.lang.String humanPresentableName)

Construct a DataFlavor that represents a MimeType.

The returned DataFlavor will have the following characteristics:

If the mimeType is "application/x-java-serialized-object; class=", the result is the same as *calling new DataFlavor(Class:forName() as above

otherwise:

representationClass = InputStream

mimeType = mimeType

ActivationDataFlavor

public ActivationDataFlavor(java.lang.String mimeType,
                            java.lang.String humanPresentableName)

Construct a DataFlavor that represents a MimeType.

The returned DataFlavor will have the following characteristics:

If the mimeType is "application/x-java-serialized-object; class=", the result is the same as calling new DataFlavor(Class:forName() as above otherwise:

representationClass = InputStream

mimeType = mimeType

getMimeType

public java.lang.String getMimeType()

Returns the MIME type string for this DataFlavor

Overrides:

getMimeType in class java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor

getRepresentationClass

public java.lang.Class getRepresentationClass()

Return the representation class

Overrides:

getRepresentationClass in class java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor

getHumanPresentableName

public java.lang.String getHumanPresentableName()

Return the Human Presentable name

Overrides:

getHumanPresentableName in class java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor

setHumanPresentableName

public void setHumanPresentableName(java.lang.String humanPresentableName)

set the human presentable name

Overrides:

setHumanPresentableName in class java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor

equals

public boolean equals(java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor dataFlavor)

Compares the DataFlavor passed in with this DataFlavor, calls this.isMimeTypeEqual.

Overrides:

equals in class java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor

isMimeTypeEqual

public boolean isMimeTypeEqual(java.lang.String mimeType)

Is the string representation of the MIME type passed in equivalent to the MIME type of this DataFlavor. This may involve adding default attributes for some MIME types (like adding charset=US-ASCII to text/plain MIME types that have no charset parameter specified).

ActivationDataFlavor delegates the comparison of MIME types to the MimeType class included as part of the JavaBeans Activation Framework. This provides a more robust comparison than is normally available in the DataFlavor class.

Overrides:

isMimeTypeEqual in class java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor

normalizeMimeTypeParameter

protected java.lang.String normalizeMimeTypeParameter(java.lang.String parameterName,
                                            java.lang.String parameterValue)

Called on DataFlavor for every MIME Type parameter to allow DataFlavor subclasses to handle special parameters like the text/plain charset parameters, whose values are case insensitive. (MIME type parameter values are supposed to be case sensitive.

This method is called for each parameter name/value pair and should return the normalized representation of the parameterValue

Overrides:

normalizeMimeTypeParameter in class java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor

normalizeMimeType

protected java.lang.String normalizeMimeType(java.lang.String mimeType)

Called for each MIME type string to give DataFlavor subtypes the opportunity to change how the normalization of MIME types is accomplished. One possible use would be to add default parameter/value pairs in cases where none are present in the MIME type string passed in

Overrides:

normalizeMimeType in class java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor
