Java Enterprise in a Nutshell, Second Edition

Name

MultipartDataSource

Synopsis

This is a subinterface of javax.activation.DataSource that can contain multiple body parts. Objects implementing this interface preparse incoming multipart messages (such as from an IMAP mail server). Note that this interface is optional; if a provider does not support it, a regular DataSource object will be used instead. In that case, all data must be read via the InputStream object provided by the DataSource.
