This class represents an Internet email address using the syntax
of RFC822.
Typical address syntax is of the form "user@host.domain" or
"Personal Name ".
The RFC 2047 encoded version of the personal name.
This field and the personal field track each
other, so if a subclass sets one of these fields directly, it
should set the other to null, so that it is
suitably recomputed.
Parse the given string and create an InternetAddress.
See the parse method for details of the parsing.
The address is parsed using "strict" parsing.
This constructor does not perform the additional
syntax checks that the
InternetAddress(String address, boolean strict)
constructor does when strict is true.
This constructor is equivalent to
InternetAddress(address, false).
Set the personal name. If the name contains non US-ASCII
characters, then the name will be encoded using the specified
charset as per RFC 2047. If the name contains only US-ASCII
characters, no encoding is done and the name is used as is.
Parameters:
name - personal name
charset - MIME charset to be used to encode the name as
per RFC 2047
Set the personal name. If the name contains non US-ASCII
characters, then the name will be encoded using the platform's
default charset. If the name contains only US-ASCII characters,
no encoding is done and the name is used as is.
Get the personal name. If the name 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.
Convert the given array of InternetAddress objects into
a comma separated sequence of address strings. The
resulting string contains only US-ASCII characters, and
hence is mail-safe.
Parameters:
addresses - array of InternetAddress objects
Returns:
comma separated string of addresses
Throws:
ClassCastException, - if any address object in the
given array is not an InternetAddress object. Note
that this is a RuntimeException.
toString
public static StringtoString(Address[] addresses,
int used)
Convert the given array of InternetAddress objects into
a comma separated sequence of address strings. The
resulting string contains only US-ASCII characters, and
hence is mail-safe.
The 'used' parameter specifies the number of character positions
already taken up in the field into which the resulting address
sequence string is to be inserted. It is used to determine the
line-break positions in the resulting address sequence string.
Parameters:
addresses - array of InternetAddress objects
used - number of character positions already used, in
the field into which the address string is to
be inserted.
Returns:
comma separated string of addresses
Throws:
ClassCastException, - if any address object in the
given array is not an InternetAddress object. Note
that this is a RuntimeException.
Return an InternetAddress object representing the current user.
The entire email address may be specified in the "mail.from"
property. If not set, the "mail.user" and "mail.host" properties
are tried. If those are not set, the "user.name" property and
InetAddress.getLocalHost method are tried.
Security exceptions that may occur while accessing this information
are ignored. If it is not possible to determine an email address,
null is returned.
Parse the given sequence of addresses into InternetAddress
objects. If strict is false, simple email addresses
separated by spaces are also allowed. If strict is
true, many (but not all) of the RFC822 syntax rules are enforced.
In particular, even if strict is true, addresses
composed of simple names (with no "@domain" part) are allowed.
Such "illegal" addresses are not uncommon in real messages.
Non-strict parsing is typically used when parsing a list of
mail addresses entered by a human. Strict parsing is typically
used when parsing address headers in mail messages.
Parse the given sequence of addresses into InternetAddress
objects. If strict is false, the full syntax rules for
individual addresses are not enforced. If strict is
true, many (but not all) of the RFC822 syntax rules are enforced.
To better support the range of "invalid" addresses seen in real
messages, this method enforces fewer syntax rules than the
parse method when the strict flag is false
and enforces more rules when the strict flag is true. If the
strict flag is false and the parse is successful in separating out an
email address or addresses, the syntax of the addresses themselves
is not checked.
Validate that this address conforms to the syntax rules of
RFC 822. The current implementation checks many, but not
all, syntax rules. Note that even though the syntax of
the address may be correct, there's no guarantee that a
mailbox of that name exists.
Indicates whether this address is an RFC 822 group address.
Note that a group address is different than the mailing
list addresses supported by most mail servers. Group addresses
are rarely used; see RFC 822 for details.
Return the members of a group address. A group may have zero,
one, or more members. If this address is not a group, null
is returned. The strict parameter controls whether
the group list is parsed using strict RFC 822 rules or not.
The parsing is done using the parseHeader method.
