Field Detail

kTypeMimeMap

public static final MRJOSType kTypeMimeMap

Deprecated.

The magic meta-flavor whose data contains the mapping between OSTypes and MIME types.

kSerializedType

public static final String kSerializedType

Deprecated.

The base MIME type defined by DataFlavor to store serialized Java objects. In actual use a "class" parameter must be added whose value is the full classname of the object.

Constructor Detail

MimeToOSTypeMapper

public MimeToOSTypeMapper()

Deprecated.

Method Detail

mapFlavor

public MRJOSType mapFlavor(DataFlavor flavor)

Deprecated.

Maps a DataFlavor to an OSType. If the DataFlavor is an OSTypeFlavor, its actual OSType is returned. Otherwise an OSType is synthesized and remembered in the mapping table.

Returns:

The OSType in int form, or 0 if the flavor cannot be used.

unmapFlavor

public DataFlavor unmapFlavor(MRJOSType osType)

Deprecated.

Returns the DataFlavor corresponding to a particular OSType returned from mapFlavor. The OSType presumably came from a previous call to mapFlavor, but if it didn't, reasonable effort will be made to map it back to a sensible MIME type.

getMimeMap

public byte[] getMimeMap()

Deprecated.

Returns the OSType-to-MIME-type map as a byte array. This data should go into the native 'mime' flavor.
