public class encrypted_content
extends java.lang.Object
implements jakarta.activation.DataContentHandler
Within the JavaBeans Activation Framework (JAF) data content handlers are used for writing certain data objects to streams, and parsing objects back from streams. Generally, applications do not immediately call the methods of a data content handler. Rather they use the access mechanisms provided by the corresponding DataHandler. The data handler itself internally will look for a proper data content handler supporting a the requested S/MIME type.
The JAF uses a RFC 1524
mailcap file for defining Java classes as content handlers for specific mime types. In
particular, this encrypted_content
class acts as a content handler
for the S/MIME type application/x-pkcs7-mime, indicated by the following
statement in the corresponding mailcap file::
application/x-pkcs7-mime;; x-java-content-handler=iaik.smime.encrypted_contentAnd for recognizing the new content type:
application/pkcs7-mime;; x-java-content-handler=iaik.smime.encrypted_contentNote that the IAIK-S/MIME distribution includes a ready-to-use mailcap file to be copied in the lib directory of your JDK (<JDK-INSTALL>/lib)!

- if an error occurs when parsing the datapublic void writeTo(java.lang.Object o, java.lang.String mimeType, java.io.OutputStream os) throws java.io.IOException
This method only is able to handle objects supplied as instances
of EncryptedContent
or
SignedContent
. If
the given object does not satisfy this criterion, an IOException is thrown.

be written to the streammimeType

- the output stream to which to write the datajava.io.IOException
- if the supplied object is not an instance of
SignedContent or EncryptedContent, or an error occurs while
writing to the stream
