Class MimeMessageUtils

java.lang.Object
  atg.service.email.MimeMessageUtils

public class MimeMessageUtils
extends java.lang.Object

A set of static utility methods for creating and filling in javax.mail.Message objects. In particular, the createMessage methods of this class create javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage objects; other methods can be used to set the various fields of the message, specify the message content, and so on.

Note that the setContent methods in this class typically call through to javax.mail.Part.setContent(Object obj, String type) to set the content of the message or each of its parts. The type of the content can be any MIME type; however, for the message to be sent successfully, a javax.activation.DataContentHandler class for the specified type should be available to the JavaMail implementation. For example, to do setContent(foobar, "application/x-foobar"), a DataContentHandler for "application/x-foobar" should be installed. The Object passed in to the setContent method should be of type expected by the DataContentHandler associated with the content type.

If you want to create and send messages with a content type unknown to the system, you will first need to write a DataContentHandler implementation specific to your content type. Once you have your FoobarDataContentHandler, you will need to make it available to the Java Activation Framework. One way to do that is by providing a mailcap file with the new content handler entry in it (see JAF documentation, particularly javax.activation.MailcapCommandMap class documentation, for more information). Another option is to provide the same information to the DataContentHandlerRegistry component, by setting its dataContentHandlerMap property.

Following is the list of MIME types currently supported by the system, assuming a DataContentHandlerRegistry component with the standard configuration is used. For each content type, we also indicate the type of Object that must be passed in to setContent for the associated DataContentHandler to work correctly:

• text/plain (String)
• text/html (String)

                       throws javax.mail.MessagingException

Sets the message content of a message with multiple file attachments.

This method sets the message content to a MimeMultipart (with a content type of "multipart/mixed"); the first part is given by pContent, with the MIME type of pContentType, and the rest of the parts contain the file attachments.

Parameters:

pAttachments - the files to attach to the message

pInlineAttachment - if true, each of the files will be inlined into the message, rather than attached

Throws:

javax.mail.MessagingException - if the message content could not be set

setContent

public static void setContent(javax.mail.Message pMessage,
                              ContentPart[] pContentParts,
                              java.io.File[] pAttachments,
                              boolean pInlineAttachments)
                       throws javax.mail.MessagingException

Sets the message content of a message with multiple content parts and multiple file attachments. For example, a message could have two content parts, one of type "text/plain," another of type "text/html," and also several file attachments.

Each element in pContentParts represents a message part, with the content and its MIME type contained within the ContentPart object.

This method sets the message content to a MimeMultipart (with a content type of "multipart/mixed"). The first part of the multipart is itself a MimeMultipart, with a content type of "multipart/mixed;" for each contentPart, Part.setContent(contentPart.getContent(), contentPart.getContentType()) is called to set the part's content. Additional parts of the outer multipart contain the file attachments.

Parameters:

pAttachments - the files to attach to the message

pInlineAttachments - if true, each of the files will be inlined into the message, rather than attached

Throws:

javax.mail.MessagingException - if the message content could not be set
