public  abstract  class  java.net.ContentHandler
    extends  java.lang.Object  (I-§1.12)
{
        // Constructors
    public ContentHandler();	§4.1.1

        // Methods
    public abstract Object getContent(URLConnection  urlc);	§4.1.2
}

An application does not generally call the getContentHandler method (I-§4.1.2) in this class directly. Instead, an application calls the getContent method in class URL (I-§4.8.6) or in URL----Connection (I-§4.9.11). The application's content handler factory (an instance of a class that implements the interface ContentHandlerFactory (I-§4.12) set up by a call to set-Content-Handler (I-§4.9.37)) is called with a String giving the MIME type of the object being received on the socket. The factory returns an instance of a subclass of ContentHandler, and its getContent method is called to create the object.

The default constructor for class ContentHandler.

Given an URL connect stream positioned at the beginning of the representation of an object, this method reads that stream and creates an object from it.

Parameters:

urlc - a URL connection

Returns:

The object read by the ContentHandler.

Throws

IOException (I-§2.29)

If an IO error occurs while reading the object.
