[Axis2] - MTOM implementation

Hi,

I have started the implementation of MTOM for AXIS2 C.

We have to have equivalent implementation for
Java.activation.Datahandler and all MIME related classes(e.g
MimeBodyPart).

I would propose to implement MIME related implementations through an
abstract layer. Then use a MIME implementation library on  top of that
abstract layer. For the initial implementation I will try to use
gmime.

 Because we have the abstraction layer we can later plugin other mime libraries.

Thank You

Best Regards

Kapila

Hi Sanjiva,

I had a look into metamail, following your suggestion. Looks to me as if 
it is a set of tools (binary programs) It is not a library, so we do not 
have an API that we can use. On the contrary, gmime is a lib that gives 
us an API.

We can have a look into metamail and get an idea on how to write the 
MIME related stuff, but as far as I understand, we cannot use it through 
the proposed abstraction layer :(

Sounds good. Is there any chance to use metamail? That's the original
src of MIME ... I have to imagine that metamail (or its current
incarnation) have been ported to all platforms. If not can we get the
code from some mail system? Java didn't invent this stuff ;-).

Sanjiva.
