Method Detail

getType

String getType()

The type parameter as it was read from the content-type header of the multipart/related message. A well formed multipart/related message always has this parameter. This is the type of the root part of the message. If a content-type header is presented in the root part as well it should hold the same value.

Returns:

the type parameter of the content-type header of the message, null if there was no such parameter

getStart

String getStart()

A start parameter is not mandatory in a message. If it is presented it holds the id of the root part.

Returns:

the start parameter of the content-type header of the message, null if there was no such parameter

getStartInfo

String getStartInfo()

Optional.

Returns:

the start-info parameter of the content-type header of the message, null if there was no such parameter

getRootPart

InputPart getRootPart()

Returns:

the root part of the message. If a start parameter was set in the message header the part with that id is returned. If no start parameter was set the first part is returned.

getRelatedMap

Map<String,InputPart> getRelatedMap()

Returns:

a map holding all parts with their unique id-s as keys. The root part and the related parts too.
