It represents a DataSource associated with a file, that relies on a FileTypeMap to associate mime types with file extensions. They can be used to send file attachments: MimeBodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart(); DataSource source = new FileDataSource(fileAttachment); messageBodyPart.setDataHandler( new DataHandler(source)); messageBodyPart.setFileName( filenameString); The other type of predefined DataSource in the Activation Framework is the URLDataSource.
