Constructor Detail

### MessageHeaders

    public MessageHeaders()
                   throws MessagingException

  Construct a MessageHeaders object.

  Throws:
    `MessagingException`

### MessageHeaders

    public MessageHeaders(java.io.InputStream is)
                   throws MessagingException

  Constructs a MessageHeaders object from the given InputStream.

  Parameters:
    `is` - InputStream
  Throws:
    `MessagingException`

### MessageHeaders

    public MessageHeaders(InternetHeaders headers)
                   throws MessagingException

  Constructs a MessageHeaders object using the given InternetHeaders.

  Parameters:
    `headers` - InternetHeaders to use
  Throws:
    `MessagingException`

Method Detail

### getSize

    public int getSize()

  Return the size of this message. Always returns zero.

  Specified by:
    `getSize` in interface `Part`
  Overrides:
    `getSize` in class `MimeMessage`
  Returns:
    size of content in bytes

### getInputStream

    public java.io.InputStream getInputStream()

  Description copied from class: `MimeMessage`
  Return a decoded input stream for this Message's "content".

  This implementation obtains the input stream from the DataHandler, that is, it invokes `getDataHandler().getInputStream()`.

  Specified by:
    `getInputStream` in interface `Part`
  Overrides:
    `getInputStream` in class `MimeMessage`
  Returns:
    an InputStream
  See Also:
    `MimeMessage.getContentStream()`, `DataHandler.getInputStream()`

### getContentStream

    protected java.io.InputStream getContentStream()

  Description copied from class: `MimeMessage`
  Produce the raw bytes of the content. This method is used during parsing, to create a DataHandler object for the content. Subclasses that can provide a separate input stream for just the message content might want to override this method.

  This implementation returns a SharedInputStream, if `contentStream` is not null. Otherwise, it returns a ByteArrayInputStream constructed out of the `content` byte array.

  Overrides:
    `getContentStream` in class `MimeMessage`
  See Also:
    `MimeMessage.content`

### setDataHandler

    public void setDataHandler(javax.activation.DataHandler dh)
                        throws MessagingException

  Can't set any content for a MessageHeaders object.

  Specified by:
    `setDataHandler` in interface `Part`
  Overrides:
    `setDataHandler` in class `MimeMessage`
  Parameters:
    `dh` - The DataHandler for the content.
  Throws:
    `MessagingException` - always
