ContentHandler

ContentHandler

java.net

---

Java 1.0

This abstract class defines a method that reads data from a URLConnection and returns an object that represents that data. Each subclass that implements this method is responsible for handling a different type of content (i.e., a different MIME type). Applications never create ContentHandler objects directly; they are created, when necessary, by the registered ContentHandlerFactory object. Applications should also never call ContentHandler methods directly; they should call URL.getContent( ) or URLConnection.getContent( ) instead. You need to subclass ContentHandler only if you are writing a web browser or similar application that needs to parse and understand some new content type.

 public abstract class  ContentHandler  {  // Public Constructors  public  ContentHandler  ( );  // Public Instance Methods  public abstract Object  getContent  (URLConnection  urlc  )  throws java.io.IOException;  1.3  public Object  getContent  (URLConnection  urlc  , Class[ ]  classes  )  throws java.io.IOException;   }
