Parsing Multipart
I am reading the multipart messge using code as follows:
method.getResponseBodyAsString()
What I get is a BIG string, with multiple parts( each part has
boundary, content-disposition type and name). Is there any smart way
of parsing this string into each part and put it into hashtable?
(Currently I can only think of using String operations to break the
BIGstring into multiple parts. But the problem is, sometimes I dont
know what the content disposition/part name is going to be)
Thanks
Vijay

You could also use the Jakarta Commons FileUpload package instead of
JavaMail. We use this to parse multi-part http requests, but i think it
should be usable as well for multi-part http responses.

You are correct. But I didn't mean to use JavaMail for the transfer.
Only use it for parsing. Something along the lines of:
DataSource ds = new HttpClientDataSource(url);
MimeMultipart top = new MimeMultipart(ds);
for (int i=0; i < top.getCount(); i++) {
BodyPart part = top.getBodyPart(i);
// do something with the part here
}
You can then hide all Http code in the HttpClientDataSource implementation.
How about this?

I'm currently using httpclient to post the multipart data to an URL
and read the multipart response back. JavaMail doesn't support
http/https protocol requests, correct?
I saw the warning message on logs for using String. Thanks. I will use
getResponseAsStream().
Thanks

If your String is large, use of getResponseBodyAsString() is strongly
discouraged. Please use getResponseAsStream().

HttpClient does not handle Multipart-MIME parsing. You could use the
JavaMail library for that:
