[email] ByteArrayDataSource
Hi,
I noticted that the ByteArrayDataSource class was removed from
commons-email. I found it to be a useful addition to commons-email...has
it moved to a different commons project?
The Turbine javadoc for this class says that
org.apache.turbine.util.mail.ByteArrayDataSource is deprecated and that
org.apache.commons.mail.ByteArrayDataSource should be used instead. Is
it possible that the class remained deprecated when moved from Turbine
to commons-email, and that its removal was accidental?
Thanks,
Scott

It seems like byte[] would be simpler right? Save a layer of translation?
Of course, that might just move the translation inwards.. Please file a bug
so we don't forget about this...

Hi,
I use it to attach dynamically generated content (which often ends up as
a byte[]) to an email.
The attach() methods in MultipartEmail and the EmailAttachment class
want either a File, URL, or DataSource. The ByteArrayDataSource class
saves someone the time of implementing their own DataSource for this
purpose. Of course, an attach() method that accepts a byte[] would work
well also.

That is quite possible! Can you explain the use case for
ByteArrayDataSource? It seemed like a terrible hack, but maybe it was a
terribly cool idea?
