jaf - JavaBeans Activation Framework

Website: http://java.sun.com/products/javabeans/glasgow/jaf.html
License: Sun Binary Code License
Vendor: JPackage Project
Description:
With the JavaBeansTM Activation Framework standard extension,
developers who use JavaTM technology can take advantage of standard
services to determine the type of an arbitrary piece of data,
encapsulate access to it, discover the operations available on it, and
to instantiate the appropriate bean to perform said operation(s). For
example, if a browser obtained a JPEG image, this framework would enable
the browser to identify that stream of data as an JPEG image, and from
that type, the browser could locate and instantiate an object that could
manipulate, or view that image.
The JavaBeans Activation Framework is implemented as a standard
extension. Sun provides a royalty-free reference implementation of the
JAF software, in binary form, that developers can use to develop JAF
technology-enabled applications for any platform that supports the Java
Development Kit (JDKTM) 1.1 software or the JavaTM 2 Standard Edition.
