Karel Vervaeke commented on AXIOM-350:
--------------------------------------
Thanks. I mean: the Part interface is cleaned up (has no javamail
dependencies). To me it sounds like this issue is resolved then. Or do we
consider exposing 'Part' via Attachments also a requirement for this issue?

> Key: AXIOM-350
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIOM-350
> Project: Axiom
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: API
> Reporter: Andreas Veithen
> Assignee: Andreas Veithen
>
> Currently, the Part interface is only used internally by Axiom. This can be
> seen from the current Javadoc [1] (note that Part is used by PartFactory,
> which is also only used internally [2]). Therefore the Part interface is not
> really part of the public API and modifying it would only impact code that
> uses Part and PartFactory independently from the rest of the Axiom API, which
> is a highly unlikely case.
> In order to solve AXIOM-31 and AXIOM-280, it is proposed to expose the Part
> instances via the Attachments object. This is also necessary to make the SAAJ
> implementation in Axis2 complete, because SAAJ defines methods to access the
> headers of a MIME part, and this is not possible with the current Axiom API.
> Exposing the Part instances via the Attachments object will make the Part
> interface part of the public API. Before doing this, we should clean up this
> interface a bit. In particular, we should eliminate its dependency on the
> JavaMail API (usage of javax.mail.MessagingException by all methods and usage
> of javax.mail.Header as a return value of getAllHeaders).
