Constructor Detail

### MimePartDataSource

    public MimePartDataSource(MimePart part)

  Constructor, that constructs a DataSource from a MimePart.

Method Detail

### getInputStream

    public java.io.InputStream getInputStream()
                                       throws java.io.IOException

  Returns an input stream from this MimePart.

  This method applies the appropriate transfer-decoding, based on the Content-Transfer-Encoding attribute of this MimePart. Thus the returned input stream is a decoded stream of bytes.

  This implementation obtains the raw content from the Part using the `getContentStream()` method and decodes it using the `MimeUtility.decode()` method.

  Specified by:
    `getInputStream` in interface `DataSource`
  Returns:
    decoded input stream
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`
  See Also:
    `MimeMessage.getContentStream()`, `MimeBodyPart.getContentStream()`, `MimeUtility.decode(java.io.InputStream, java.lang.String)`

### getOutputStream

    public java.io.OutputStream getOutputStream()
                                         throws java.io.IOException

  This implementation throws the UnknownServiceException.

  Specified by:
    `getOutputStream` in interface `DataSource`
  Returns:
    an OutputStream
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`

### getContentType

    public java.lang.String getContentType()

  Returns the content-type of this DataSource.

  This implementation just invokes the `getContentType` method on the MimePart.

  Returns:
    the MIME Type

### getName
