Multipart/related

Hi guys!
My first time on here so I hope this goes well!!
Ok, I'm on here because I have a problem. Basic jist of it is this. I'm trying to create a program which will read in emails. Everything was super until i recieved an email with the content type set as:
multipart related; type="multipart/alternative";
Any ideas as to how I can handle this because I'm totally stuck.
Thanks people!

Ah, that is the next mime type I need to implement for the webmail at webmail.ufl.edu that we're developing. When adding support for different mime types I found http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/ to be very useful. RFC2387 http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2387.txt describes multipart/related. Below is my current understanding, I could be wrong:
Basicly you'll find a few parameters: type, start, and start-info.
The start parameter may have a value that is a content-ID. If it does then that is the first part to show to the user, in most cases these days it will be the content-ID of a part of text/html and the other parts will be images. If the start parameter doesn't exists you use the first part inside the multipart/related.
The type parameter is required and it will be equal to the content-type of the "start" part. It's here so you don't have to look ahead too see what time time you're going to display to the user. I think I'll be ignoring it infavor of looking directly at the part but I don't know yet.
I'll let your read the RFC for info on start-info. It's optional and I don't think you're gonna need to worry about it unless you plan to fork processes to view a part.
So to display multipart/related you find your start part and present that to the user. All other nested parts you supress unless the start part requires them. In the case of a text/html start part you'll want to rewrite any <img src="cid:foo"> tags to something that references one of the image parts so it can be displayed inline in the html.
Hope that helps. If I found myself to be wrong I'll put up a follow up post.

OSB defaulting Content-Type to "multipart/related" in case of attachments

I have scenario where I need to invoke a REST Webservice from OSB which accepts only media types which has "multipart/atom+xml". OSB is used for protocol transformation converting the SOAP request into the HTTP POST request with multipart. I have Proxy Service which will unwrap the message from the SOAP Body and post the same message into the payload of the Business Service and the attachment is passed 'as is' from the SOAP Service. The external REST Service Provider expects the media type to be "multipart/atom+xml", but in OSB when an attachment is present in the message, OSB is overrding the "Content-Type" proeprty to "multipart/related" inspite of me setting the "Content-Type" property of HTTP Transport Header in OSB and as result external RESTFUL Service is throwing "415-Unsupported Media Type" error. Below is the test results. One interesting thing is, it happens only when there is attachment present in the message. In case of a message which doesn't have attachment any "Content-Type" specified in the Transport Header is passed by the OSB to the external service. Any help is highly appreciated.

HTTP content-type header has the following limitation as per osb doc.
Oracle Service Bus run time may overwrite these headers in the binding layer when preparing the message for dispatch. If these headers are modified, $inbound and $outbound are updated accordingly. So what you are seeing may be working as designed. Cant the remote service accept the multi part related content type set up by osb ?

MIME Multipart/related to embed images in html files - Servlet

Hello,
My goal is to embed images in html/xhtml files to decrease latency when using slow networks. Think about mobile phones, if I have 10 images in one page, I will have 11 requests/responses to get the whole page.
The solution would be to embed all images using Content-type multipart/related, so I have one request to the whole pack.
How to do that in java? I mean, I need to set the content-type and build all parts encoding the images to base64.
I tried JavaMail API, there I can build messages like this and instead of send an e-mail, I can write:
myMimeMultipart.writeTo(response.getOutputStream());
The problem is: I am getting everything as text in my browser, including the MIME headers of each part. Another think is that the first header (the main one) doesn't appear too.
Any thoughts/other ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Andr� Carlucci

If memory serves me right, I believe in the Servlet spec you have access to the Response object. You "should" be able to set any headers you need there. In addition, you can get the output streams just as you described.
I did a similar thing, although slightly modified, to output dynamically-generated XLS (Excel Spreadsheet) files using a reporting engine called JasperReports. It wasn't a multipart response, however, so you may need to figure out how to handle that part of it, but in my case I set the mime-type header, then grabbed the output and started writing my XLS file too it. Once done, you close the streams and return the response. Worked perfect.

Multipart/related part specifiers

Hi, this query is perhaps the result of my own limited knowledge regarding MIME types and part specifiers but here goes....
Based on the following BODYSTRUCTURE, I am attempting to determine the associated part specifiers so I may get the MIME headers for said part (i.e. A12 UID FETCH 147859 (BODY.PEEK[1.MIME])).

               type= "multipart"
     subtype= "alternative"
     type= "multipart"This particular message has a multipart/related content-type:
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/related;
     type="text/html";
     boundary="----_=_NextPart_001_01C6ED7A.EC20BF80"So, it has 4 part specifiers, one for each part in multipart/related. Now, the question to all this is can I determine from the BODYSTRUCTURE object what the root part is (i.e. that it's multipart/related)? Or am I going about this the wrong way (i.e. should I be examining the content-type header first to find out that its multipart/related and the first part is "text/html")?

Basically, I'm trying to fetch various attributes of a message. In this case, the MIME headers of the various message parts (perhaps I'm stating the obvious but I'm not sure how to better explain what I'm trying to accomplish).
I've made some "progress". This morning when I continued working with the message described above, all of a sudden, the BODYSTRUCTURE I get back is different and as a result, the BODYSTRUCTURE object generated is different.

Any ideas why the BODYSTRUCTURE reported by the server today is different from what it reported before? I have this message on both an Exchange 2000 and Mirapoint server. 2 days ago they both reported the BODYSTRUCTURE I indicated before, now they both have the BODYSTRUCTURE above.
PS. Sorry that this issue isn't really Javamail related anymore but I'd appreciate any input.

Adding in-memory images to multipart/related

I'm constructing a multipart/related message and would like to add in-memory images to the MimeBodyPary instead of having JavaMail grab the images from the file system or from a URL.
Is there a simple way to do this using the JavaMail API? I think the solution might be to add a new DataSource implementation to the activation framework; something like a ByteArrayDataSource....

Yes, that is the solution.

Thank you for your response!!!
I already found the solution. For those who still having problem send e-mail, make sure to put mail.jar and activation.jar in the same location.
Also, make sure to check catalina.xml to make sure those jars are same location!!!->That what I found out.
->I put jars in same location of my eclipse project but it turns out, the tomcat app server didn't put them in same location.
Anyway, Thank you java_2006 for your response!!!!!

Unable to add Content-Type=multipart/related; type="text/xml";

hi all
am trying to add the following to my soap message that include attachment
but its not working
Content-Type=multipart/related; type="text/xml";

can any body help plzzzzzzzz

Hello again,
My solution works and does not work. Content type is ok, but strange characters appear to the end of the attachment data.
Like this
...</E1EDS01></IDOC></ORDERS01>H úãž6×½ ã½5Õ×¼ÛgžÛNÝ}þ[ëMu201E
Where did these come from? I tested in a way that I changed the ContentType back to application/xml and attachment is fine again.

JWSDP, WSDL and multipart/related problem

Hi,
I got a wsdl file that sends multipart/related soap messages and I want to generate a client stub using wscompile.
This is a short exerpt from the wsdl describing the message I want to send:
<wsdl:operation name="MessageSubmit">
<soap:operation/>
<wsdl:input>
<mime:multipartRelated>
<mime:part>
<soap:body use="literal"/>
</mime:part>
<mime:part>
<mime:content part="content" type="*/*"/>
</mime:part>
</mime:multipartRelated>
</wsdl:input>
<wsdl:output>
<soap:body use="literal"/>
</wsdl:output>
</wsdl:operation>
The problem I have is that wscompile complains and says: "error: input message of binding operation "MessageSubmit" does not have a SOAP body extension". But it does! It's in there in the multipart/related tags.
The same wsdl works using tools from systinet. Doesn't JWSDP and wscompile handle multipart/related properly? Anyone else seen this?
Cheers,
Stefan

wscompile does not support mime:multipart binding.

Help: Setting the multipart/related start parameter

I am wanting to set the "start" parameter on my ContentType header for
a multipart related message. Something like below.
DATA
ContentType: multipart/related; boundary=_XXX; start="<somecid@domain>"
I can set the content type to "multipart/related" by calling
MimeMultipart.setSubType(), but I cannot figure out how to set the
"start" parameter.
Anyone know.
Thanks,
Chris

Does the SMTP server accept the mail for delivery of does it reject it?
If it doesn't reject it, is the issue with the format of the mime message, or possibly with whatever mail reader you are using.
It the SMTP server does reject the message I suppose the next question is what exactly is the "SMTP" server you are using?
IMHO you should not need to add anything to the mime multipart headers if using any RFC compliant SMTP server or reader. No-where in RFCs 2045,2046,2049,2822 etc can I find anything that relates to this "start" parameter.
If the SMTP server is a "proper" SMTP server it should not give two hoots about the mime multipart/mime body parts of the message as it "should" only be interested in the headers required to deliver the email. The mime multi/body part headers are generally not used to deliver. They are used by a Mime compliant mail reader to format and display the message.
We use Javamail to send regular "Newsletters" via a numbers of SMTP mail serviers running on IBM AS/400s, Sendmail on Unix, Lotus Notes servers and and others and have no problems.
If you want to send me your code to run on our systems to see if it really is your SMTP server or your message format that is giving trouble I can probably help. I can't open up a server for you as we have rather strict policies on who can do what with our servers. You can of course use our normal SMTP server to send a test email to me!!

Multipart/mixed and multipart/relative Content type probs

I tried to create a page from a servlet by using the multipart/mixed
          Content-type.
          All that is displayed inside the browser is the actual code including the
          headers for the single parts of the page. I also checked it on the byte
          level, getting the same results.
          Does anybody have an idea ?
          Thank you very much ,
          Tom


Are you setting the content type prior to each response (i.e.
          out.println("Content-type: text/html\n");)?
          Below is an example (untested, but should work):
          // Global constants
          static final String BOUNDARY_STR ="Joe";
          static final String BOUNDARY = "--"+BOUNDARY_STR;
          static final String BOUNDARY_END = BOUNDARY+"--";
          // Inside of doGet
          res.setContentType("multipart/mixed;boundary="+BOUNDARY_STR);
          ServletOutputStream out = res.getOutputStream();
          // First Response
          out.println(BOUNDARY);
          out.println("Content-type: text/html\n");
          out.println("<html>\n");
          out.println("<head>\n");
          out.println("<title>First Response</title>\n");
          out.println("</head>\n");
          out.println("<body>\n");
          out.println("<h1>First Response</h1>\n");
          out.println("</body>\n");
          out.println("</html>\n");
          out.println(BOUNDARY);
          out.flush();
          // Second Response
          out.println(BOUNDARY);
          out.println("Content-type: text/html\n");
          out.println("<html>\n");
          out.println("<head>\n");
          out.println("<title>Second Response</title>\n");
          out.println("</head>\n");
          out.println("<body>\n");
          out.println("<h1>Second Response</h1>\n");
          out.println("</body>\n");
          out.println("</html>\n");
          out.println(BOUNDARY);
          out.flush();
          // Done
          out.println(BOUNDARY_END);
          out.flush();

Document/literal WS w/ multipart attachment on OC4J 10.1.3/10.1.2

Hi all,
I am wondering if OC4J 10.1.3 or 10.1.2 can handle document/literal Web Service with multipart attachment using JAX-RPC API.
I have created a prototype which does doc/lit WS with text/plain attachment without any problems on OC4J 10.1.3 DP 4.
But, no luck with multipart/related attachment. Our messaging system is designed that the first part is the SOAP envelope.
The second part is a multipart message, which could be nested.
Page 19-9 of Oracle Application Server Web Services Developer's Guide 10g Release 3 (10.1.3) B14434-01 (Sep. 2005)
does not have the multipart/* support for SWA attachment. It covers image/jpeg, image/gif, image/tif, text/plain, application/plain and text/xml.
Does anyone know if multipart is supported? Can you provide a working example please?
many thanks in advance !

Thank you, Tim for your reply.
I found the answer myself. :-)
It's not the WSDL, it's the test program.
You are suggesting SWA attachment, which works. But, I am looking for SWAref attachment, which could be referenced by a SOAP element (i.e. cid: )
The client application builds a multipart, which has 1 text file and a jpeg file and sends
the multipart with SOAP envelope. The server returns the multipart back to the client.
Here is my client code:
     private void demoAttachment() throws Exception
          javax.xml.soap.MessageFactory mf = javax.xml.soap.MessageFactory.newInstance();
