public abstract class MultipartInputStream 
- extends java.io.InputStream- implements MultipartStream
 Input stream that represents the content of a multipart stream following RFC
 1521. This multipart stream consists of zero or more substreams that are each
 separated via a boundary. The construction logic of the instance of
 MultipartInputStream needs to take care that the correct boundary
 value is specified. This boundary is typically defered from the content-type
 request header.
 
 
 The caller can step over the multipart entries using the
 getNextEntry() method. Calling this method returns a description of
 the next entry or null if no entry is available. In addition the
 input stream will be reset to represent the content of the entry. This
 content will already be decoded wtr to the
 Content-Transfer-Encoding header of the entry. Reading the
 complete input stream until any of the read-method returns -1 will read up to
 the end of the current entry.
 
 
 The design of this abstract class has been modelled after
 ZipInputStream.
 
 
 Instances of MultipartInputStream can be created via the
 com.ibm.portal.resolver.streams.StreamFactory.

MultipartInputStream
public MultipartInputStream()
matches
public static boolean matches(javax.mail.internet.ContentType ct)
- Checks if the mime type is valid for a multipart input
 
- 
 
- 
- Parameters:
- ct - the content type to check, not null
- Returns:
- true if this is a valid content type, else
         false
- Since:
- 7.0
 
getNextEntry
public abstract MultipartInputStream.Entry getNextEntry()
                                                 throws java.io.IOException
- 
 Reads the next multipart stream entry and positions stream at the
 beginning of the entry data. Note that MultipartInputStream.Entry instances may be
 recycled, the entry is only valid until the next call to
 getNextEntry() or MultipartStream.closeEntry().
  
 The implementation will at least interpret the following headers
 automatically
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
- Returns:
- the multipart entry just read or null if there is no
         more entry
- Throws:
- java.io.IOException - if an I/O error has occurred
