GNU JAF is a framework for declaring what beans operate on what MIME
type data. Content handler beans can be defined to handle particular
MIME content. The JAF unites internet standards for declaring content
with JavaBeans™.

The JAF defines two mechanisms within the framework. The first, the
file type map, specifies the MIME content type for a given file. The
default implementation of this uses the UNIX mime.types format to map
filename extensions to MIME types. The second mechanism, the command
map, specifies the actions that can be applied to a given MIME content
type. The default implementation of this uses the standard mailcap format
to map actions to JavaBean™ classes. These beans can then view, edit,
print, or perform whatever other action is required on the underlying
resource.
