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.- Since:

Method Detail
getNativesForFlavor
List<String> getNativesForFlavor(DataFlavor flav)
Returns aListofStringnatives to which the specifiedDataFlavorcorresponds. TheListwill 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 returnedListis a modifiable copy of thisFlavorTable's internal data. Client code is free to modify theListwithout affecting this object.- Parameters:
-
flav- theDataFlavorwhose corresponding natives should be returned. Ifnullis specified, all natives currently known to thisFlavorTableare returned in a non-deterministic order. - Returns:
-
a
java.util.Listofjava.lang.Stringobjects which are platform-specific representations of platform- specific data formats
getFlavorsForNative
List<DataFlavor> getFlavorsForNative(String nat)
Returns aListofDataFlavors to which the specifiedStringcorresponds. TheListwill be sorted from bestDataFlavorto worst. That is, the firstDataFlavorwill best reflect data in the specified native to a Java application. The returnedListis a modifiable copy of thisFlavorTable's internal data. Client code is free to modify theListwithout affecting this object.- Parameters:
-
nat- the native whose correspondingDataFlavors should be returned. Ifnullis specified, allDataFlavors currently known to thisFlavorTableare returned in a non-deterministic order. - Returns:
-
a
java.util.ListofDataFlavorobjects into which platform-specific data in the specified, platform-specific native can be translated
