Using DataSource objects

Provider implementations can use objects that implement the javax.activation.DataSource interface when the following conditions are true:

  • the implementation is using message mode.

DataSource objects provide a mechanism for working with MIME typed data from a variety of sources including URLs, files, and byte arrays.
