Implement non JavaMail implementation of MultipartWriter
--------------------------------------------------------
Key: WSCOMMONS-554
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSCOMMONS-554
Project: WS-Commons
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Andreas Veithen
Fix For: Axiom 1.2.10
Axiom currently uses JavaMail to produce MIME messages. Since JavaMail expects
the content of a part to be provided as a DataHandler object, this means that
the root part (i.e. the SOAP message) cannot be streamed and must be buffered
in memory, generating unnecessary overhead. Axiom 1.2.9 introduced a new API
called MultipartWriter with a contract that allows streaming. Since the default
implementation currently uses JavaMail, that option is not used.
The task is to write an alternative implementation of MultipartWriter that
avoids buffering the root part and that is optimized for XOP and SwA (where
e.g. it is not necessary to take into account stuff like 7bit encoding). Maybe
it is possible to use an existing library (mime4j?) for this.
