public ActivationDataFlavor(Class representationClass,
    String humanPresentableName) 
{
        super(representationClass, humanPresentableName);
        this.mimeType = super.getMimeType();
        this.representationClass = representationClass;
        this.humanPresentableName = 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

Parameters:

representationClass - the class used in this DataFlavor

humanPresentableName - the human presentable name of the flavor

 public ActivationDataFlavor(String mimeType,
    String humanPresentableName) 
{
        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;
}

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

Parameters:

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

humanPresentableName - the human presentable name of the flavor

 public ActivationDataFlavor(Class representationClass,
    String mimeType,
    String humanPresentableName) 
{
        super(mimeType, humanPresentableName); // need to call super
        // init private variables:
        this.mimeType = mimeType;
        this.humanPresentableName = humanPresentableName;
        this.representationClass = representationClass;
}

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

 public boolean equals(DataFlavor dataFlavor) 
{
        return (isMimeTypeEqual(dataFlavor) &&
                dataFlavor.getRepresentationClass() == representationClass);
}

Compares the DataFlavor passed in with this DataFlavor; calls the isMimeTypeEqual method.

 public String getHumanPresentableName() 
{
        return humanPresentableName;
}

Return the Human Presentable name.

 public String getMimeType() 
{
        return mimeType;
}

Return the MIME type for this DataFlavor.

 public Class getRepresentationClass() 
{
        return representationClass;
}

Return the representation class.

 public boolean isMimeTypeEqual(String mimeType) 
{
        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);
}

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.

 protected String normalizeMimeType(String mimeType) 
{
        return 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.

 protected String normalizeMimeTypeParameter(String parameterName,
    String parameterValue) 
{
        return 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.

 public  void setHumanPresentableName(String humanPresentableName) 
{
        this.humanPresentableName = humanPresentableName;
}

Set the human presentable name.
