| 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. |
