Class URLDataSource

java.lang.Object
  javax.activation.URLDataSource

All Implemented Interfaces:

DataSource

public class URLDataSource
extends Object
implements DataSource

The URLDataSource class provides an object that wraps a URL object in a DataSource interface. URLDataSource simplifies the handling of data described by URLs within the JavaBeans Activation Framework because this class can be used to create new DataHandlers. NOTE: The DataHandler object creates a URLDataSource internally, when it is constructed with a URL.

Since:

1.6

Constructor Detail

URLDataSource

public URLDataSource(URL url)

URLDataSource constructor. The URLDataSource class will not open a connection to the URL until a method requiring it to do so is called.

Parameters:

url - The URL to be encapsulated in this object.

Method Detail

getContentType

public String getContentType()

Returns the value of the URL content-type header field. It calls the URL's URLConnection.getContentType method after retrieving a URLConnection object.

If this method fails, or if a content type is not returned from the URLConnection, getContentType returns "application/octet-stream" as the content type.

Returns:

the content type.
