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? > Clean up the org.apache.axiom.attachments.Part interface > -------------------------------------------------------- > > 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). > [1] > http://ws.apache.org/axiom/apidocs/org/apache/axiom/attachments/class-use/Part.html > [2] > http://ws.apache.org/axiom/apidocs/org/apache/axiom/attachments/impl/class-use/PartFactory.html -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@ws.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@ws.apache.org
