      On page 14 of 24 is this paragraph:


      > 7.1 Overview
      >
      > This section describes the specification of well-behaved JAF-aware JavaBean™
      > viewers. Note that this proposal the reader is comfortable with the JavaBeans™
      > Specification. ...


      The sentence starting "Note that this proposal the reader..." seems to
      be missing the word "assumes", as in "Note that this proposal assumes
      the reader".

      In the section 10.4 that shows the MailcapCommandMap:

      // get all know commands for this MIME type
      public CommandInfo[] getAllCommands(String mimeType);

      The word "know" should be "known".

      Hi. I'm reading version 1.0 dated March 16, 1998. In Section 5.1, page
      4 of 24, is a bullet list. The second entry is:

      o Getting the Command List: The application presents command list for a
      selected data item.

      To be consistent with the first and third entries, I think the second
      entry needs the word "the". I think the second entry should read:

      o Getting the Command List: The application presents the command list
      for a selected data item.

      And more...

      On page 3 of 24, in the section "3.4 The Command Object Interface",
      is this sentence:

      > JAF-aware JavaBean™ can directly access their DataSource and
      > DataHandler objects in order to retrieve the data type,
      > and to act on the data.

      There's a sungular-plural agreement problem there. I'd also lose the
      comma. I'd suggest writing it like this:

      > A JAF-aware JavaBean™ can directly access its DataSource and
      > DataHandler objects in order to retrieve the data type
      > and act on the data.

      Hi. Hope I haven't reported these before; I've sent a few reports. ;-)


      1) In the Method Detail section covering GetDefaultCommandMap is this
      bullet:

      "In cases where no CommandMap has been set, the CommandMap creates an
      instance of MailcapCommandMap and set that to the default, returning its
      value."

      I think that should be reworded to say: "...and *sets* that to the
      default, ..."


      2) In the Method Detail section for GetCommand is:

      "Get the default command corresonding to the MIME type."

      That word should be "corresponding".


      3) In the Method Detail section for getPreferredCommands is:

      "Returns:
                the CommandInfo classes the represent the command Beans."

      It should say "... classes *that* represent ..."



      Subject: Typos in jaf/docs/javax.activation.CommandInfo.html

      Hello again...

      Sorry, in my previous message about CommandMap, I forgot to say that
      I've got JAF 1.0.

      Here are a couple of typos in the CommandInfo page.


      1) The following sentence in the first paragraph has two problems:

      "There is also method that will return the class name of the class that
      implements the command..."

      First, the sentence should start "There is also *a* method..."

      Second, I think that "class name of the class" is sort of redundant.
      How about just "name of the class"?


      2) Several places through the page is the word "instansiated"; it's
      mixed in with "instantiated". I think that the first spelling is wrong
      and the second is right.
