Method Detail

getInputStream

public InputStream getInputStream()
                           throws IOException

This implementation obtains the raw content from the Part using the getContentStream() method and decodes it using the MimeUtility.decode() method.

Specified by:

getInputStream in interface DataSource

Returns:

decoded input stream

Throws:

IOException
