Search-terms are represented by this class. This is an abstract class; subclasses implement specific match methods.
Search terms are serializable, which allows storing a search term between sessions. Warning: Serialized objects of this class may not be compatible with future JavaMail API releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage.
Warning:
Search terms that include references to objects of type
Message.RecipientType
will not be deserialized
correctly on JDK 1.1 systems. While these objects will be deserialized
without throwing any exceptions, the resulting objects violate the
type-safe enum contract of the Message.RecipientType
class. Proper deserialization of these objects depends on support
for the readReplace
method, added in JDK 1.2.
