Constructors

Constructor	Description
GenericDataFlavor()	Construct a new GenericDataFlavor.
GenericDataFlavor(Class<?> representationClass, String humanPresentableName)	Construct a GenericDataFlavor that represents a Java class
GenericDataFlavor(String mimeType)	construct a GenericDataFlavor from a Mime Type string.
GenericDataFlavor(String mimeType, String humanPresentableName)	Construct a GenericDataFlavor that represents a MimeType If the mimeType is "application/x-java-serialized-object; class=<representation class>", the result is the same as calling new GenericDataFlavor(Class:forName(<representation class>)
GenericDataFlavor(String mimeType, String humanPresentableName, ClassLoader classLoader)	Construct a GenericDataFlavor that represents a MimeType If the mimeType is "application/x-java-serialized-object; class=<representation class>", the result is the same as calling new GenericDataFlavor(Class:forName(<representation class>).

Constructor Details

GenericDataFlavor

public GenericDataFlavor()

Construct a new GenericDataFlavor.

GenericDataFlavor

public GenericDataFlavor(Class<?> representationClass,
 String humanPresentableName)

Construct a GenericDataFlavor that represents a Java class

Parameters:

representationClass - the class used to transfer data in this flavor

humanPresentableName - the human-readable string used to identify this flavor. If this parameter is null then the value of the the MIME Content Type is used.

GenericDataFlavor

public GenericDataFlavor(String mimeType)
                  throws ClassNotFoundException

construct a GenericDataFlavor from a Mime Type string.

Parameters:

mimeType - he string used to identify the MIME type for this flavor The string must specify a "class=" parameter in order to succeed in constructing a DataFlavor.

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException - if the class could not be loaded

IllegalArgumentException - thrown if mimeType does not specify a "class=" parameter

GenericDataFlavor

public GenericDataFlavor(String mimeType,
 String humanPresentableName)

Construct a GenericDataFlavor that represents a MimeType If the mimeType is "application/x-java-serialized-object; class=<representation class>", the result is the same as calling new GenericDataFlavor(Class:forName(<representation class>)

Parameters:

mimeType - the string used to identify the MIME type for this flavor

humanPresentableName - the human-readable string used to identify this flavor

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - thrown if the mimeType does not specify a "class=" parameter, or if the class is not successfully loaded

GenericDataFlavor

public GenericDataFlavor(String mimeType,
 String humanPresentableName,
 ClassLoader classLoader)
                  throws ClassNotFoundException

Construct a GenericDataFlavor that represents a MimeType If the mimeType is "application/x-java-serialized-object; class=<representation class>", the result is the same as calling new GenericDataFlavor(Class:forName(<representation class>).

Parameters:

mimeType - the string used to identify the MIME type for this flavor

humanPresentableName - the human-readable string used to identify this flavor.

classLoader - class loader to load the class

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException - is thrown if class could not be loaded
