public class Capability
extends java.lang.Object

A description of a general capability of the service--its behavioral characteristics and limitations--and how to use it. The information in this object is only as recent as the call to VosiService#getCapabilities that generated this object. To see if a service's capabilities have changed, call VosiService#getCapabilities again. The following example explores the VOSI capabilities response of a service to determine if it has the TAP service capability.

 
   for (Capability capability: capabilities) {
      System.out.println("This capability supports the following Standard: "+capability.getStandardId());
   }
