Interface FlavorTable
- All Superinterfaces:
FlavorMap
- All Known Implementing Classes:
SystemFlavorMap
public interface FlavorTable extends FlavorMap
A FlavorMap which relaxes the traditional 1-to-1 restriction of a Map. A flavor is permitted to map to any number of natives, and likewise a native is permitted to map to any number of flavors. FlavorTables need not be symmetric, but typically are.

- 1.4

Method Detail
getNativesForFlavor
List<String> getNativesForFlavor(DataFlavor flav)
Returns a List
of String
natives to which the specified DataFlavor
corresponds. The List
will be sorted from best native to worst. That is, the first native will best reflect data in the specified flavor to the underlying native platform. The returned List
is a modifiable copy of this FlavorTable
's internal data. Client code is free to modify the List
without affecting this object.
- Parameters:
-
flav
- theDataFlavor
whose corresponding natives should be returned. Ifnull
is specified, all natives currently known to thisFlavorTable
are returned in a non-deterministic order. - Returns:
- a
java.util.List
ofjava.lang.String
objects which are platform-specific representations of platform-specific data formats
getFlavorsForNative
List<DataFlavor> getFlavorsForNative(String nat)
Returns a List
of DataFlavor
s to which the specified String
corresponds. The List
will be sorted from best DataFlavor
to worst. That is, the first DataFlavor
will best reflect data in the specified native to a Java application. The returned List
is a modifiable copy of this FlavorTable
's internal data. Client code is free to modify the List
without affecting this object.
- Parameters:
-
nat
- the native whose correspondingDataFlavor
s should be returned. Ifnull
is specified, allDataFlavor
s currently known to thisFlavorTable
are returned in a non-deterministic order. - Returns:
- a
java.util.List
ofDataFlavor
objects into which platform-specific data in the specified, platform-specific native can be translated
