This is a regression bug in JDK1.2.2 (works fine in JDK1.2). The test in

EVALUATION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jeff.dunn@Eng 1999-02-11 We'll get this fixed in the "I" build. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jeff.dunn@eng 1999-02-12 The fix for 4173707 enforced the spec, which required representation class names with DataFlavors. The default flavor map did not include them, so they were failing. I added the classes to the flavormap.properties files on win32 and solaris. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- tina.su@Eng 1999-02-24 The fix is verified on JDK1.2.2 (Circket) H build.
