JXTA in a Nutshell

Name

Package net.jxta.document

Synopsis

The classes in this package manage JXTA documents. Documents are the key abstraction of data sent between JXTA peers: all data elements exchanged by JXTA peers are instances of documents. Documents may be either structured or unstructured; the most common usage is structured documents with a MIME type of “text/xml.”

Advertisements for various types of JXTA resources are represented by Advertisement objects returned from the AdvertisementFactory class. Similarly, you use the StructuredDocumentFactory class to obtain StructuredDocument objects, which can then be populated with one or more Element objects. The class hierarchy for this package is shown in Figure 9-4.
