Thread: Image is not added when converting eml into htm

Hi 1 & All,

I have a problem while converting eml into htm. i.e. the image in the eml is not added to htm.
Iam using BufferedInputStream and BufferedOutputStream to read the eml body part and write into an htm.

eml body has text/html part which i wanted to create as separate html file.
The images are added in this text/html part by specifying the content-id of that image
i.e. ,
<TD width="233px"><IMG align="absbottom" src="cid:a" width="233" height="38"></td>
<TD width="100%"><IMG align="absbottom" src="cid:b" width="100%" height="38"></td>

This content-ids are defined at the bottom of the eml file.

Now, the problem is the htm file is created without adding these images and the images are created as separate pages.

Can any one Please tell me where actually iam going wrong.

Thanks & Regards,
Vjay

Is this a Java programming problem or an HTML problem?
If you know what the correct HTML is that should be written, are you having a problem making your java program write it? If so please show the code where the problem and show what it writes that is wrong.
If you don't know what HTML should be written, try an HTML forum.

Hi Norm, Thanks for your reply.

Ya, I think its java problem, As i told iam using BufferedInputStream and BufferedOutputStream to write the htm file,

i.e.,

File partFile = new File(desFolder.getPath() + fSep + "message.htm");
BufferedOutputStream bos =null;
BufferedInputStream bis =null;
try
{
System.out.println("srcPart : "+srcPart.getContent().toString()); // to get the html content
System.out.println("srcPart.getInputStream() : "+srcPart.getInputStream().toString());
bos = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(partFile));
//initialize a buffered input stream for body part
bis = new BufferedInputStream(srcPart.getInputStream());
//read attachment contents into file
int dummy = -1;
while ((dummy = bis.read()) != -1)
{
bos.write(dummy);
}
done =true;
}
catch(IOException ex)
{
ex.printStackTrace();
VWLogger.error("Exception Encountered!",ex);
done = false;
}

The problem here is the eml file contains the htm part which is having
<IMG align="absbottom" src="cid:a" width="233" height="38">

The src="cid:a" i.e. the image content-id is defined at the bottom of the eml,

i.e.,
----_16sofl2.1703ip2.1pf.BODYHTMLTEXT
Content-Type: image/gif;name="gwava5.gif"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-ID: <a>
Content-Disposition: inline;filename="gwava5.gif"

Now my understanding is the BufferedStreams are not identifying this cid and they are not inserting the images into htm file(rather images are considered separately and separate gif images are generated).

Can you please let me know the solution for this.

Thanks and Regards,
Vjay

the BufferedStreams are not identifying this cid

I'm not sure what you are saying here. Do you think the BufferedStream is supposed to look at what you write ( the cid) and change it to something else?
Won't that be the program's responsibliity, to scan through the input file byte by byte, find the cid string and replace it with something else?
