getMimeObject

public MimeObject getMimeObject(java.lang.String name)

Convenience method to get a part know to be represented as a MimeObject. Parts which were standard "text" input fields are generally not represented in such a manner; most other things probably are. If unknown, check like this: Object o = form_data.get(key); if (o instanceof MimeObject) ; //then it is a MimeObject.

Parameters:

name - The name of the part on the original form.

Returns:

The MimeObject representing the part, or null if it doesn't exist or isn't a MimeObject.
