## Package javax.activation Description

provides a free implementation of the java beansTM activation framework.

JAF links together beans and internet standards for specifying mime types and how mime types are processed.

#### 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 mailcap handling classes to work out what beans should be linked to what mime types.
