java.lang.Object

com.iplanet.am.util.QCharset

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparable

public class QCharset
extends Object
implements Comparable

This class represent charset to be used. The sorting of this object is based on the Q factor associated with it. The charaset object with more Q factor will be greater.This object allows to represent charaset values received from HTTP header. Example Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1;Q=0.9 UTF-8 imples UTF-8 takes more precedence over ISO-8859-1. Possible Q values are any floating points between 0 and 1. if Q factor is missing it is assumed to be 1.
