Reproducible: Not applicable

we have a requirement to extract all the file attachments from notes messages in JAVA. We cannot use lotus scripts!

I am using the Notes getEmbeddedObjects() of RichTextItem to get all the attachments that are present in the "Body" of the message :

below is the code -

RichTextItem body = (RichTextItem)doc.getFirstItem("Body");
Vector v = body.getEmbeddedObjects();
Enumeration e = v.elements();
while (e!=null && e.hasMoreElements()) {

EmbeddedObject eo = (EmbeddedObject)e.nextElement();
//check if the object is a file attachment

String type = getObjectType(eo);
if (type.equals("file attachment")){

eo.extractFile("C:\\extracts\\"+eo.getSource());

}

}

This approach fails when we have a message with just attachments and No Body (RichTextItem cannot be used as the attachment is not a part of the "Body" ).

Please let me know if you are aware of an alternate solution to extract attachments that are NOT a part of the Body or to extract attachments from messages that do not have a body.

Thanks !
