## javax.mail
Interface MultipartDataSource

All Superinterfaces:
  DataSource

    public interface MultipartDataSource

extends DataSource

MultipartDataSource is a `DataSource` that contains body parts. This allows "mail aware" `DataContentHandlers` to be implemented more efficiently by being aware of such `DataSources` and using the appropriate methods to access `BodyParts`.

Note that the data of a MultipartDataSource is also available as an input stream.

This interface will typically be implemented by providers that preparse multipart bodies, for example an IMAP provider.
