    • updateHeaders

      protected void updateHeaders()
      Description copied from class: MimeBodyPart
      Examine the content of this body part and update the appropriate MIME headers. Typical headers that get set here are Content-Type and Content-Transfer-Encoding. Headers might need to be updated in two cases:
      - A message being crafted by a mail application will certainly need to activate this method at some point to fill up its internal headers.
      - A message read in from a Store will have obtained all its headers from the store, and so doesn't need this. However, if this message is editable and if any edits have been made to either the content or message structure, we might need to resync our headers.
      In both cases this method is typically called by the Message.saveChanges method.

      If the MimeBodyPart.cachedContent field is not null (that is, it references a Multipart or Message object), then that object is used to set a new DataHandler, any stream data used to create this object is discarded, and the MimeBodyPart.cachedContent field is cleared.

      Overrides:
      updateHeaders in class MimeBodyPart
    • getSize

      public int getSize() throws MessagingException
      Description copied from class: MimeBodyPart
      Return the size of the content of this body part in bytes. Return -1 if the size cannot be determined.

      Note that this number may not be an exact measure of the content size and may or may not account for any transfer encoding of the content.

      This implementation returns the size of the content array (if not null), or, if contentStream is not null, and the available method returns a positive number, it returns that number as the size. Otherwise, it returns -1.

      Specified by:
      getSize in interface Part
      Overrides:
      getSize in class MimeBodyPart
      Returns:
      size in bytes, or -1 if not known
      Throws:
      MessagingException - for failures
    • getLineCount

      public int getLineCount() throws MessagingException
      Description copied from class: MimeBodyPart
      Return the number of lines for the content of this Part. Return -1 if this number cannot be determined.

      Note that this number may not be an exact measure of the content length and may or may not account for any transfer encoding of the content.

      This implementation returns -1.

      Specified by:
      getLineCount in interface Part
      Overrides:
      getLineCount in class MimeBodyPart
      Returns:
      number of lines, or -1 if not known
      Throws:
      MessagingException - for failures
    • getContentType

      public String getContentType() throws MessagingException
      Description copied from class: MimeBodyPart
      Returns the value of the RFC 822 "Content-Type" header field. This represents the content type of the content of this body part. This value must not be null. If this field is unavailable, "text/plain" should be returned.

      This implementation uses getHeader(name) to obtain the requisite header field.

      Specified by:
      getContentType in interface Part
      Overrides:
      getContentType in class MimeBodyPart
      Returns:
      Content-Type of this body part
      Throws:

      See Also:
    • getDisposition

      public String getDisposition() throws MessagingException
      Description copied from class: MimeBodyPart
      Returns the disposition from the "Content-Disposition" header field. This represents the disposition of this part. The disposition describes how the part should be presented to the user.

      If the Content-Disposition field is unavailable, null is returned.

      This implementation uses getHeader(name) to obtain the requisite header field.

      Specified by:
      getDisposition in interface Part
      Overrides:
      getDisposition in class MimeBodyPart
      Returns:
      disposition of this part, or null if unknown

      public void setDisposition(String disposition) throws MessagingException
      Description copied from class: MimeBodyPart
      Set the disposition in the "Content-Disposition" header field of this body part. If the disposition is null, any existing "Content-Disposition" header field is removed.
      Specified by:
      setDisposition in interface Part
      Overrides:
      setDisposition in class MimeBodyPart
      Parameters:
      disposition - disposition of this part
      Throws:
      IllegalWriteException - if the underlying implementation does not support modification
      MessagingException - for other failures
      See Also:
    • getEncoding

      public String getEncoding() throws MessagingException
      Description copied from class: MimeBodyPart
      Returns the content transfer encoding from the "Content-Transfer-Encoding" header field. Returns null if the header is unavailable or its value is absent.

      This implementation uses getHeader(name) to obtain the requisite header field.

      Specified by:
      getEncoding in interface MimePart
      Overrides:
      getEncoding in class MimeBodyPart
      Returns:
      content-transfer-encoding
      Throws:
      MessagingException - for failures
      See Also:
    • getContentID

      public String getContentID() throws MessagingException
      Description copied from class: MimeBodyPart
      Returns the value of the "Content-ID" header field. Returns null if the field is unavailable or its value is absent.

      Parameters:
      md5 - the MD5 value
      Throws:
      IllegalWriteException - if the underlying implementation does not support modification
      MessagingException
    • getDescription

      public String getDescription() throws MessagingException
      Description copied from class: MimeBodyPart
      Returns the "Content-Description" header field of this body part. This typically associates some descriptive information with this part. Returns null if this field is unavailable or its value is absent.

      If the Content-Description field is encoded as per RFC 2047, it is decoded and converted into Unicode. If the decoding or conversion fails, the raw data is returned as is.

      This implementation uses getHeader(name) to obtain the requisite header field.

      Specified by:
      getDescription in interface Part
      Overrides:
      getDescription in class MimeBodyPart
      Returns:
      content description
      Throws:
      MessagingException - for failures
    • setDescription

      public void setDescription(String description, String charset) throws MessagingException
      Description copied from class: MimeBodyPart
      Set the "Content-Description" header field for this body part. If the description parameter is null, then any existing "Content-Description" fields are removed.

      If the description contains non US-ASCII characters, it will be encoded using the specified charset. If the description contains only US-ASCII characters, no encoding is done and it is used as is.

      Note that if the charset encoding process fails, a MessagingException is thrown, and an UnsupportedEncodingException is included in the chain of nested exceptions within the MessagingException.

      Overrides:
      setDescription in class MimeBodyPart
      Parameters:
      description - Description
      charset - Charset for encoding
      Throws:
      IllegalWriteException - if the underlying implementation does not support modification
      MessagingException - otherwise; an UnsupportedEncodingException may be included in the exception chain if the charset conversion fails.
    • getFileName

      public String getFileName() throws MessagingException
      Description copied from class: MimeBodyPart
      Get the filename associated with this body part.

      Returns the value of the "filename" parameter from the "Content-Disposition" header field of this body part. If its not available, returns the value of the "name" parameter from the "Content-Type" header field of this body part. Returns null if both are absent.

      If the mail.mime.decodefilename System property is set to true, the MimeUtility.decodeText method will be used to decode the filename. While such encoding is not supported by the MIME spec, many mailers use this technique to support non-ASCII characters in filenames. The default value of this property is false.

      Specified by:
      getFileName in interface Part
      Overrides:
      getFileName in class MimeBodyPart
      Returns:
      filename
      Throws:
      MessagingException - for failures
    • setFileName

      public void setFileName(String filename) throws MessagingException
      Description copied from class: MimeBodyPart
      Set the filename associated with this body part, if possible.

      Sets the "filename" parameter of the "Content-Disposition" header field of this body part. For compatibility with older mailers, the "name" parameter of the "Content-Type" header is also set.

      If the mail.mime.encodefilename System property is set to true, the MimeUtility.encodeText method will be used to encode the filename. While such encoding is not supported by the MIME spec, many mailers use this technique to support non-ASCII characters in filenames. The default value of this property is false.

      Specified by:
      setFileName in interface Part
      Overrides:
      setFileName in class MimeBodyPart
      Parameters:
      filename - the file name
      Throws:
      IllegalWriteException - if the underlying implementation does not support modification
      MessagingException - for other failures
    • getContentStream

      protected InputStream getContentStream() throws MessagingException
      Description copied from class: MimeBodyPart

      Overrides:
      getContentStream in class MimeBodyPart
      Returns:
      an InputStream containing the raw bytes
      Throws:
      MessagingException - for failures

      public void setContent(Object o, String type) throws MessagingException
      Description copied from class: MimeBodyPart
      A convenience method for setting this body part's content.

      The content is wrapped in a DataHandler object. Note that a DataContentHandler class for the specified type should be available to the Jakarta Mail implementation for this to work right. That is, to do setContent(foobar, "application/x-foobar"), a DataContentHandler for "application/x-foobar" should be installed. Refer to the Java Activation Framework for more information.

      Specified by:
      setContent in interface Part
