Fields Summary
private String	mimeType
private MimeType	mimeObject
private String	humanPresentableName
private Class	representationClass

Constructors Summary
public ActivationDataFlavor(Class representationClass, String mimeType, 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 param representationClass the class used in this DataFlavor param mimeType the MIME type of the data represented by this class param humanPresentableName the human presentable name of the flavor super(mimeType, humanPresentableName); // need to call super // init private variables: this.mimeType = mimeType; this.humanPresentableName = humanPresentableName; this.representationClass = representationClass;
public ActivationDataFlavor(Class representationClass, 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 param representationClass the class used in this DataFlavor param humanPresentableName the human presentable name of the flavor super(representationClass, humanPresentableName); this.mimeType = super.getMimeType(); this.representationClass = representationClass; this.humanPresentableName = humanPresentableName;
public ActivationDataFlavor(String mimeType, 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 param mimeType the MIME type of the data represented by this class param humanPresentableName the human presentable name of the flavor super(mimeType, humanPresentableName); this.mimeType = mimeType; try { this.representationClass = Class.forName("java.io.InputStream"); } catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) { // XXX - should never happen, ignore it } this.humanPresentableName = humanPresentableName;

Methods Summary
public boolean	equals(java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor dataFlavor) Compares the DataFlavor passed in with this DataFlavor; calls the isMimeTypeEqual method. param dataFlavor the DataFlavor to compare with return true if the MIME type and representation class are the same return (isMimeTypeEqual(dataFlavor) && dataFlavor.getRepresentationClass() == representationClass);
public java.lang.String	getHumanPresentableName() Return the Human Presentable name. return the human presentable name return humanPresentableName;
public java.lang.String	getMimeType() Return the MIME type for this DataFlavor. return the MIME type return mimeType;
public java.lang.Class	getRepresentationClass() Return the representation class. return the representation class return representationClass;
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. 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. param mimeType the MIME type return true if the same MIME type MimeType mt = null; try { if (mimeObject == null) mimeObject = new MimeType(this.mimeType); mt = new MimeType(mimeType); } catch (MimeTypeParseException e) { // something didn't parse, do a crude comparison return this.mimeType.equalsIgnoreCase(mimeType); } return mimeObject.match(mt);
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. This method is never invoked by this implementation. param mimeType the MIME type return the normalized MIME type deprecated return mimeType;
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. This method is never invoked by this implementation. param parameterName the parameter name param parameterValue the parameter value return the normalized parameter value deprecated return parameterValue;
public void	setHumanPresentableName(java.lang.String humanPresentableName) Set the human presentable name. param humanPresentableName the name to set this.humanPresentableName = humanPresentableName;
