Class MimeHeaders

  • public class MimeHeaders
extends Object
    A container for MimeHeader objects, which represent the MIME headers present in a MIME part of a message.

    This class is used primarily when an application wants to retrieve specific attachments based on certain MIME headers and values. This class will most likely be used by implementations of AttachmentPart and other MIME dependent parts of the SAAJ API.

    Since:
    1.6
    See Also:
    SOAPMessage.getAttachments(), AttachmentPart

      • getHeader

        public String[] getHeader​(String name)
        Returns all of the values for the specified header as an array of String objects.
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the header for which values will be returned
        Returns:
        a String array with all of the values for the specified header

        setHeader(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)

      • setHeader

        public void setHeader​(String name,
                      String value)
        Replaces the current value of the first header entry whose name matches the given name with the given value, adding a new header if no existing header name matches. This method also removes all matching headers after the first one.

        Note that RFC822 headers can contain only US-ASCII characters.

        Parameters:
        name - a String with the name of the header for which to search
        value - a String with the value that will replace the current value of the specified header
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if there was a problem in the mime header name or the value being set

        getHeader(java.lang.String)
