We use microscopic Bogoliubov-de Gennes theory to study a model triplet superconductor - ferromagnet - singlet superconductor Josephson junction. We obtain analytic expressions for the Andreev bound state spectrum, and hence calculate the free energy minimum of the junction, and the spontaneous charge and spin currents. We find that these properties of the junction strongly depend upon the orbital pairing state of the two superconductors. The results are interpreted with the assistance of a tunneling Hamiltonian theory.
