Hi,
I have started the implementation of MTOM for AXIS2 C.
Great! Welcome aboard!!
We have to have equivalent implementation for
Java.activation.Datahandler and all MIME related classes(e.g
MimeBodyPart).
I would propose to implement MIME related implementations through an
abstract layer. Then use a MIME implementation library on top of that
abstract layer. For the initial implementation I will try to use
gmime.
Because we have the abstraction layer we can later plugin other mime libraries.
Sounds good. Is there any chance to use metamail? That's the original
src of MIME ... I have to imagine that metamail (or its current
incarnation) have been ported to all platforms. If not can we get the
code from some mail system? Java didn't invent this stuff ;-).
Hi Sanjiva,
I had a look into metamail, following your suggestion. Looks to me as if
it is a set of tools (binary programs) It is not a library, so we do not
have an API that we can use. On the contrary, gmime is a lib that gives
us an API.
We can have a look into metamail and get an idea on how to write the
MIME related stuff, but as far as I understand, we cannot use it through
the proposed abstraction layer :(
Samisa...
