		<title>Details of Usage</title>

		<para>The key attribute for <emphasis role="bold"><property>&lt;rich:dropSupport&gt;</property></emphasis> is <emphasis><property>"acceptedTypes"</property></emphasis>. 
		      It defines, which types of dragable items (zones) could be accepted by the current drop zone. Check the example below:
		</para>
	      <programlisting role="XML"><![CDATA[...
<rich:panel styleClass="dropTargetPanel">
     <f:facet name="header">
          <h:outputText value="PHP Frameworks" />
     </f:facet>
     
     <rich:dropSupport id="php" acceptedTypes="PHP" dropValue="PHP" dropListener="#{eventBean.processDrop}" reRender="phptable, src">
     </rich:dropSupport>
     ...
</rich:panel>
...
]]></programlisting>
	      <para>and here is what happens on the page:</para>
	      <figure>
	            <title>Drop zone accepts dragable item with "PHP" type only</title>
	            <mediaobject>

	      </figure>
	      
	      <para>Using the <emphasis><property>"typeMapping"</property></emphasis> attribute. Previous example shows that a drop zone could accept a dragable item or not. 
	            Special markers, which are placed at <emphasis role="bold"><property>&lt;rich:dragIndicator&gt;</property></emphasis>, inform user about drop zone’s possible behaviors: 
	            "checkmark" appears if drop is accepted and "No" symbol if it is not. 
	            Moreover, some extra information (e.g. text message) could be put into the Indicator to reinforce the signal about drop zone’s behavior or pass some other additional sense. 
	            This reinforcement could be programmed and attributed to drop zone via <emphasis><property>"typeMapping"</property></emphasis> attribute using JSON syntax. 
	            The type of dragged zone (dragType) should be passed as &quot;key&quot; and name of <emphasis role="bold"><property>&lt;rich:dndParam&gt;</property></emphasis> 
	            that gives needed message to Indicator as &quot;value&quot;:

		<para>
