java.lang.Object | +--javax.mail.FetchProfile
Clients use a FetchProfile to list the Message attributes that it wishes to prefetch from the server for a range of messages.
Messages obtained from a Folder are light-weight objects that typically start off as empty references to the actual messages. Such a Message object is filled in "on-demand" when the appropriate get*() methods are invoked on that particular Message. Certain server-based message access protocols (Ex: IMAP) allow batch fetching of message attributes for a range of messages in a single request. Clients that want to use message attributes for a range of Messages (Example: to display the top-level headers in a headerlist) might want to use the optimization provided by such servers. TheFetchProfile
allows the client to indicate this desire to the server.
Note that implementations are not obligated to support FetchProfiles, since there might be cases where the backend service does not allow easy, efficient fetching of such profiles.
Sample code that illustrates the use of a FetchProfile is given below:
Message[] msgs = folder.getMessages(); FetchProfile fp = new FetchProfile(); fp.add(FetchProfile.Item.ENVELOPE); fp.add("X-mailer"); folder.fetch(msgs, fp);
Folder.fetch(javax.mail.Message[], javax.mail.FetchProfile)
FetchProfile.Item This inner class is the base class of all items that can be requested in a FetchProfile. |
FetchProfile() Create an empty FetchProfile. |
add(FetchProfile.Item item) Add the given special item as one of the attributes to be prefetched. | |
add(java.lang.String headerName) Add the specified header-field to the list of attributes to be prefetched. | |
contains(FetchProfile.Item item) Returns true if the fetch profile contains given special item. | |
contains(java.lang.String headerName) Returns true if the fetch profile contains given header name. | |
getHeaderNames() Get the names of the header-fields set in this profile. | |
getItems() Get the items set in this profile. |
