/**
 * A single attachment to a <code>SOAPMessage</code> object. A <code>SOAPMessage</code>
 * object may contain zero, one, or many <code>AttachmentPart</code> objects.
 * Each <code>AttachmentPart</code> object consists of two parts,
 * application-specific content and associated MIME headers. The
 * MIME headers consists of name/value pairs that can be used to
 * identify and describe the content.
 * <p>
 * An <code>AttachmentPart</code> object must conform to certain standards.
 * <OL>
 * <LI>It must conform to <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2045.txt">
 *     MIME [RFC2045] standards</a>
 * <LI>It MUST contain content
 * <LI>The header portion MUST include the following header:
 *  <UL>
 *   <LI><code>Content-Type</code><br>
 *       This header identifies the type of data in the content of an
 *       <code>AttachmentPart</code> object and MUST conform to [RFC2045].
 *       The following is an example of a Content-Type header:
 *       <PRE>
 *       Content-Type:  application/xml
 *       </PRE>
 *       The following line of code, in which <code>ap</code> is an
 *       <code>AttachmentPart</code> object, sets the header shown in 
 *       the previous example.
 *       <PRE>
 *       ap.setMimeHeader("Content-Type", "application/xml");
 *       </PRE>
 * <p>
 *  </UL>
 * </OL>
 * <p>
 * There are no restrictions on the content portion of an <code>
 * AttachmentPart</code> object. The content may be anything from a
 * simple plain text object to a complex XML document or image file.
 *
 * <p>
 * An <code>AttachmentPart</code> object is created with the method
 * <code>SOAPMessage.createAttachmentPart</code>. After setting its MIME headers,
 *  the <code>AttachmentPart</code> object is added to the message
 * that created it with the method <code>SOAPMessage.addAttachmentPart</code>.
 *
 * <p>
 * The following code fragment, in which <code>m</code> is a
 * <code>SOAPMessage</code> object and <code>contentStringl</code> is a
 * <code>String</code>, creates an instance of <code>AttachmentPart</code>,
 * sets the <code>AttachmentPart</code> object with some content and 
 * header information, and adds the <code>AttachmentPart</code> object to 
 * the <code>SOAPMessage</code> object. 
 * <PRE>
 *     AttachmentPart ap1 = m.createAttachmentPart();
 *     ap1.setContent(contentString1, "text/plain");
 *     m.addAttachmentPart(ap1);
 * </PRE>
 *
 *
 * <p>
 * The following code fragment creates and adds a second 
 * <code>AttachmentPart</code> instance to the same message. <code>jpegData</code> 
 * is a binary byte buffer representing the jpeg file.
 * <PRE>
 *     AttachmentPart ap2 = m.createAttachmentPart();
 *     byte[] jpegData =  ...;
 *     ap2.setContent(new ByteArrayInputStream(jpegData), "image/jpeg");
 *     m.addAttachmentPart(ap2);
 * </PRE>
 * <p>
 * The <code>getContent</code> method retrieves the contents and header from 
 * an <code>AttachmentPart</code> object. Depending on the
 * <code>DataContentHandler</code> objects present, the returned
 * <code>Object</code> can either be a typed Java object corresponding
 * to the MIME type or an <code>InputStream</code> object that contains the
 * content as bytes.
 * <PRE>
 *     String content1 = ap1.getContent();
 *     java.io.InputStream content2 = ap2.getContent();
 * </PRE>
 *
 * The method <code>clearContent</code> removes all the content from an
 * <code>AttachmentPart</code> object but does not affect its header information.
 * <PRE>
 *     ap1.clearContent();
 * </PRE>
