The GNU JavaBeans™ Activation Framework (JAF) provides a Free implementation of the JavaBeans™ Activation Framework, version 1.1.

JAF links together beans and internet standards for specifying MIME types and how MIME types are processed. It provides a means to associate data of a given MIME type with bean actions operating on that data.

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 mail capability handling classes to work out what beans should be linked to what MIME types.
