Introduction to Library Functions                   activation(3)

NAME
     activation - JavaBeans Activation Framework (JAF) is a stan-
     dard extension to the Java platform.

SYNOPSIS
     Add activation.jar to the CLASSPATH

DESCRIPTION
     Java Activation Framework, or  JAF,  enables  developers  to
     determine  the type of an arbitrary piece of data, to encap-
     sulate access to the data, to discover the functional opera-
     tions  available  on  it, and to instantiate the appropriate
     bean to perform the operation(s). It  also  enables  you  to
     dynamically  register  types  of  arbitrary data and actions
     associated with particular kinds of data.  Additionally,  it
     enables a program to dynamically provide or retrieve JavaBe-
     ans that implement actions  associated  with  some  kind  of
     data.
