Description: JavaBeans Activation Framework (JAF) is a technology applied as a standard extension to the Java platform. Determining the type of arbitrary piece of data, encapsulating access to the data, and discovering the operations available on the data are examples of this technology’s services. Additionally, JAF does not require a standard installation process, as it allows the activation file download to a location on the user’s system that the Java Virtual Machine can access. This allows the full functionality of the technology to be accessed and enables programs to provide JavaBeans that implement actions linked with the data.

This technology does not utilize a database to store data.

Per the GitHub page for JAF, this technology has received its final update and has been renamed and repurposed to address Java Enterprise Edition`s (Java EE`s) transition to Jakarta EE. At the time of writing, Java EE is still supported in the TRM and a separate request must be submitted to review the replacement, Jakarta Activation Framework, if needed.
