  3. The GNU JavaBeans&trade; Activation Framework (JAF) provides a
  4. <a href="http://www.gnu.org/">Free</a> implementation of the
  5. JavaBeans&trade; Activation Framework, version 1.1.
  6. </p>
  7. <p>
  8. JAF links together beans and internet standards for specifying MIME
  9. types and how MIME types are processed. It provides a means to associate
  10. data of a given MIME type with bean actions operating on that data.
  11. </p>
  12. <h4>Important files</h4>
  13. <p>
  14. Standard <code>mime.types</code> files are parsed by the JAF MIME
  15. handling classes to work out the MIME types available on the local
  16. system.
  17. </p>
  18. <p>
  19. Standard <code>mailcap</code> files (defined in RFC1524) are parsed by
  20. mail capability handling classes to work out what beans should be linked
  21. to what MIME types.
