- //=============================================================================
- //+ Name DwField -- Class representing a MIME header field
- //+ Description
- //. {\tt DwField} represents a header field as described in RFC-822.
- //. According to RFC-822, a field contains a field name and a field body.
- //. In MIME++, a {\tt DwField} contains three elements: a {\tt DwString}
- //. that contains its field name, a {\tt DwString} that contains its
- //. field body, and a {\tt DwFieldBody} object that contains a broken-down
- //. (that is, parsed) version of its field body.
- //.
- //. In the tree (broken-down) representation of message, a {\tt DwField}
- //. object is always an intermediate node, having a parent node and a single
- //. child node. The parent node is the {\tt DwHeaders} object that contains
- //. it. The child node is the {\tt DwFieldBody} object it contains.
- //.
- //. To get and set the field name, use the member functions
- //. {\tt FieldNameStr()} and {\tt SetFieldNameStr()}.
- //. To get and set the field body, use the member functions
- //. {\tt FieldBodyStr()} and {\tt SetFieldBodyStr()}.
- //. To get and set the {\tt DwFieldBody} object, use {\tt FieldBody()}
- //. and {\tt SetFieldBody()}.
- //.
- //. A {\tt DwField} object can be included in a list of {\tt DwField}
- //. objects; usually this is the list of {\tt DwField} objects maintained
- //. by its parent {\tt DwHeaders} object. To get the next {\tt DwField}
- //. object in a list, use the member function {\tt Next()}.

-
- public:
-
- DwField();
- DwField(const DwField& aField);
- DwField(const DwString& aStr, DwMessageComponent* aParent=0);
- //. The first constructor is the default constructor, which sets the
- //. {\tt DwField} object's field name and field body to the empty
- //. string, set its parent to {\tt NULL}, and sets its {\tt DwFieldBody}
- //. object to {\tt NULL}.
- //.
- //. The second constructor is the copy constructor, which performs
- //. a deep copy of {\tt aField}.
- //. The parent of the new {\tt DwField} object is set to {\tt NULL}.
- //.
- //. The third constructor copies {\tt aStr} to the {\tt DwField}
- //. object's string representation and sets {\tt aParent} as its parent.
- //. The virtual member function {\tt Parse()} should be called immediately
- //. after this constructor in order to parse the string representation.
- //. Unless it is {\tt NULL}, {\tt aParent} should point to an object of
- //. a class derived from {\tt DwHeaders}.
-
- virtual ~DwField();
-
- const DwField& operator = (const DwField& aField);
- //. This is the assignment operator, which performs a deep copy of
- //. {\tt aField}. The parent node of the {\tt DwField} object
- //. is not changed.
-
- virtual void Parse();
- //. This virtual function, inherited from {\tt DwMessageComponent},
- //. executes the parse method for {\tt DwField} objects. The parse
- //. method creates or updates the broken-down representation from the
- //. string representation. For {\tt DwField} objects, the parse method
- //. parses the string representation, sets the values of the field
- //. name string and the field body string, and creates an instance
- //. of the appropriate subclass of {\tt DwFieldBody}. This member
- //. function also calls the {\tt Parse()} member function of its
- //. contained {\tt DwFieldBody} object.
- //.
- //. You should call this member function after you set or modify the
- //. string representation, and before you access the field name, the
- //. field body, or the contained {\tt DwFieldBody} object.
- //.
- //. This function clears the is-modified flag.
-
- virtual void Assemble();
- //. This virtual function, inherited from {\tt DwMessageComponent},
- //. executes the assemble method for {\tt DwField} objects. The
- //. assemble method creates or updates the string representation from
- //. the broken-down representation. In more concrete terms, the
- //. assemble method builds the string representation from the field
- //. name and the string representation of the contained {\tt DwFieldBody}
- //. object. This member function calls the {\tt Assemble()} member
- //. function of its contained {\tt DwFieldBody} object.
- //.
- //. You should call this member function after you modify either the
- //. field name or the contained {\tt DwFieldBody} object, and before
- //. you retrieve the string representation.
- //.
- //. This function clears the is-modified flag.
-
- virtual DwMessageComponent* Clone() const;
- //. This virtual function, inherited from {\tt DwMessageComponent},
- //. creates a new {\tt DwField} on the free store that has the same
- //. value as this {\tt DwField} object. The basic idea is that of
- //. a virtual copy constructor.
-
- DwFieldBody* FieldBody() const;
- //. Returns the {\tt DwFieldBody} object contained by this {\tt DwField}
- //. object. If there is no field body, {\tt NULL} will be returned.
-
- const DwString& FieldNameStr() const;
- //. Returns the field name of this header field as a string.
-
- const DwString& FieldBodyStr() const;
- //. Returns the field body of this header field as a string.
-
- DwField* Next() const;
- //. Returns the next {\tt DwField} object following this
- //. {\tt DwField} object in the list contained in a {\tt DwHeaders}.
- //. Returns {\tt NULL} if this object is last in the list.
-
- void SetFieldBody(DwFieldBody* aFieldBody);
- //. Sets the {\tt DwFieldBody} object contained by this object.
-
- void SetFieldNameStr(const DwString& aStr);
- //. Sets the field name of this header field.
-
- void SetFieldBodyStr(const DwString& aStr);
- //. Sets the field body of this header field.
-
- void SetNext(const DwField* aField);
- //. This {\it advanced} function sets {\tt aField} as the next field
- //. following this field in the list of fields contained in the headers.
- //. Since {\tt DwHeaders} contains member functions for adding
- //. {\tt DwField} objects to its list, this function should be
- //. avoided for most applications.
-
- static DwField* NewField(const DwString& aStr,
- DwMessageComponent* aParent);
- //. Creates a new {\tt DwField} object on the free store.
- //. If the static data member {\tt sNewField} is {\tt NULL},
- //. this member function will create a new {\tt DwField}
- //. and return it. Otherwise, {\tt NewField()} will call
- //. the user-supplied function pointed to by {\tt sNewField},
- //. which is assumed to return an object from a class derived from
- //. {\tt DwField}, and return that object.
-
- static DwFieldBody* CreateFieldBody(const DwString& aFieldName,
- const DwString& aFieldBody, DwMessageComponent* aParent);
- //. The static member function {\tt CreateFieldBody()} is called from
- //. the {\tt Parse()} member function and is responsible for creating a
- //. {\tt DwFieldBody} object for this particular field. A typical
- //. scenario might go as follows:
- //. This member function examines the field name for this field,
- //. finds that it contains "To", creates a {\tt DwAddressList} object
- //. to contain the field body, calls the {\tt Parse()} member
- //. function for the {\tt DwAddressList}, and sets the {\tt DwAddressList}
- //. object as this {\tt DwField} object's {\tt DwFieldBody}.
- //.
- //. If you want to override the behavior of {\tt CreateFieldBody()},
- //. you can do so by setting the public data member
- //. {\tt sCreateFieldBody} to point to your own function.
- //. {\tt CreateFieldBody()} first checks to see if
- //. {\tt sCreateFieldBody} is {\tt NULL}. If it is not,
- //. {\tt CreateFieldBody()} will assume that it points to a user-supplied
- //. function and will call that function. If it is {\tt NULL},
- //. {\tt CreateFieldBody()} will call {\tt _CreateFieldBody()}, which
- //. actually creates the {\tt DwFieldBody} object. You may call
- //. {\tt _CreateFieldBody()} from your own function for fields you
- //. do not wish to handle.

- //. to a user-supplied function that returns an object from a class
- //. derived from {\tt DwField}.
-
