/**
* The Part
interface is the common base interface for
* Messages and BodyParts.
* * Part consists of a set of attributes and a "Content".
* * Attributes:
* * The JavaMail API defines a set of standard Part attributes that are * considered to be common to most existing Mail systems. These * attributes have their own settor and gettor methods. Mail systems * may support other Part attributes as well, these are represented as * name-value pairs where both the name and value are Strings.
* * Content:
*
* The data type of the "content" is returned by
* the getContentType()
method. The MIME typing system
* is used to name data types.
* * The "content" of a Part is available in various formats: *
getDataHandler()
method.
* The "content" of a Part is also available through a
* javax.activation.DataHandler
object. The DataHandler
* object allows clients to discover the operations available on the
* content, and to instantiate the appropriate component to perform
* those operations.
*
* getInputStream()
method.
* Any mail-specific encodings are decoded before this stream is returned.
*
* getContent()
method.
* This method returns the "content" as a Java object.
* The returned object is of course dependent on the content
* itself. In particular, a "multipart" Part's content is always a
* Multipart or subclass thereof. That is, getContent()
on a
* "multipart" type Part will always return a Multipart (or subclass) object.
* writeTo()
method that streams
* out its bytestream in mail-safe form suitable for transmission.
* This bytestream is typically an aggregation of the Part attributes
* and its content's bytestream. * * Message and BodyPart implement the Part interface. Note that in * MIME parlance, Part models an Entity (RFC 2045, Section 2.4). * * @author John Mani */ public interface Part { /** * Return the size of the content of this part in bytes. * Return -1 if the size cannot be determined.
