Hi.

 Looking for a way to retireve an xml attachment then automatically process the xml document and display it. I am stuck on how to retreive the xml attachment into a inputstream.

Here is what I have so far:

import java.io.InputStream;

import org.w3c.dom.Document;

import net.rim.blackberry.api.mail.Folder;
import net.rim.blackberry.api.mail.Message;
import net.rim.blackberry.api.mail.Multipart;
import net.rim.blackberry.api.mail.event.FolderEvent;
import net.rim.device.api.notification.NotificationsManager;
import net.rim.device.api.system.RuntimeStore;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.component.Dialog;
import net.rim.device.api.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import net.rim.device.api.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;

public class test extends UiApplication implements FolderListener{
...
	public void messagesAdded(FolderEvent e) {
		// Create a store to save the xml document into
		RuntimeStore store = RuntimeStore.getRuntimeStore();
		long ATTACHMENT_ID = 0x227cdf69ca6b6ce8L; // ATTACHMENT_ID

		// get the message and folder it was added to
		Message msg = e.getMessage();
		Folder messageFolder = msg.getFolder();

		if (msg.getSubject().equalsIgnoreCase("XML TEST")) {

			Object content = msg.getContent();
			if (content instanceof Multipart) {
				Multipart mp = (Multipart) content;
				for (int i = 0; i < mp.getCount(); i++) {
					try {
						// Build a document based on the XML file.
						DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
						DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
						// InputStream inputStream =
						// mp.getBodyPart(i).getInputStream();
						Document document = builder.parse((InputStream) mp.getBodyPart(i).getContent());
						store.put(ATTACHMENT_ID, document);
					} catch (Exception ex) {
						Dialog.alert("Error: " + ex.getMessage());
					}

				}

				// delete the message
				messageFolder.deleteMessage(msg);
				NotificationsManager.triggerImmediateEvent(ShowXML.NOTIFICATION_ID, 0, this, null);
			}
		}
	}
}

There are 2 approaches you can take to work with email attachments.  You can implement a content handler using JSR 172 for the content type of the attachment.  This provides the user with a Download Attachment menu option when they open the message.  Download Attachment downloads the attachment and then invokes your application to process it.

Alternatively you can use an AttachmentHandler as described here:
