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 JAXM API.

Constructor Summary
	MimeHeaders() Constructs a default `MimeHeaders` object initialized with an empty `Vector` object.

Method Summary
void	addHeader(String name, String value) Adds a `MimeHeader` object with the specified name and value to this `MimeHeaders` object's list of headers.
Iterator	getAllHeaders() Returns all the headers in this `MimeHeaders` object.
String[]	getHeader(String name) Returns all of the values for the specified header as an array of `String` objects.
Iterator	getMatchingHeaders(String[] names) Returns all the `MimeHeader` objects whose name matches a name in the given array of names.
Iterator	getNonMatchingHeaders(String[] names) Returns all of the `MimeHeader` objects whose name does not match a name in the given array of names.
void	removeAllHeaders() Removes all the header entries from this `MimeHeaders` object.
void	removeHeader(String name) Remove all `MimeHeader` objects whose name matches the the given name.
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.

getAllHeaders

public Iterator getAllHeaders()

Returns all the headers in this MimeHeaders object.

Returns: an Iterator object over this MimeHeaders object's list of MimeHeader objects

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

getMatchingHeaders

public Iterator getMatchingHeaders(String[] names)

Returns all the MimeHeader objects whose name matches a name in the given array of names.

Parameters: names an array of String objects with the names for which to search

Returns: an Iterator object over the MimeHeader objects whose name matches one of the names in the given list

getNonMatchingHeaders

public Iterator getNonMatchingHeaders(String[] names)

Returns all of the MimeHeader objects whose name does not match a name in the given array of names.

Parameters: names an array of String objects with the names for which to search

public void removeAllHeaders()

Removes all the header entries from this


 MimeHeaders

object.

removeHeader

public void removeHeader(String name)

Remove all MimeHeader objects whose name matches the the given name.

Parameters: name a String with the name of the header for which to search

setHeader

public void setHeader(String name, String value)
