public class TextTransfer extends ByteArrayTransfer
TextTransfer provides a platform specific mechanism
for converting plain text represented as a java String
to a platform specific representation of the data and vice versa.
An example of a java String containing plain text is shown
below:
String textData = "Hello World";
Note the TextTransfer does not change the content of the text
data. For a better integration with the platform, the application should convert
the line delimiters used in the text data to the standard line delimiter used by the
platform.
