/**
 * The DataHandler class provides a consistent interface to data
 * available in many different sources and formats.
 * It manages simple stream to string conversions and related operations
 * using DataContentHandlers.
 * It provides access to commands that can operate on the data.
 * The commands are found using a CommandMap. <p>
 *
 * <b>DataHandler and CommandMaps</b><p>
 * The DataHandler keeps track of the current CommandMap that it uses to
 * service requests for commands (<code>getCommand</code>,
 * <code>getAllCommands</code>, <code>getPreferredCommands</code>).
 * Each instance of a DataHandler may have a CommandMap associated with
 * it using the <code>setCommandMap</code> method.  If a CommandMap was
 * not set, DataHandler calls the <code>getDefaultCommandMap</code>
 * method in CommandMap and uses the value it returns. See
 * <i>CommandMap</i> for more information. <p>
 *
 * <b>DataHandler and URLs</b><p>
 * The current DataHandler implementation creates a private
 * instance of URLDataSource when it is constructed with a URL.
 *
 * @see jakarta.activation.CommandMap
 * @see jakarta.activation.DataContentHandler
