public interface: FlavorTable [javadoc | source]

All Implemented Interfaces:
FlavorMap

All Known Implementing Classes:
SystemFlavorMap

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.

Method from java.awt.datatransfer.FlavorTable Summary:
getFlavorsForNative, getNativesForFlavor

Method from java.awt.datatransfer.FlavorTable Detail:
public List 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.
public List 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.
