Hi,

I am trying to send mail with attachment, but i cant do this.

Below is my code, Can someone tell me what is wrong with it??

simple.jsp:
<%
Properties props = new Properties();

props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.quicknet.nl");
Session s = Session.getInstance(props,null);

MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(s);

InternetAddress from = new InternetAddress("you@example.com");
message.setFrom(from);
String toAddress = request.getParameter("to");
InternetAddress to = new InternetAddress(toAddress);
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, to);

String subject = request.getParameter("subject");
message.setSubject(subject);
String text = request.getParameter("text");

// Create the message part
BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();

// Fill the message
messageBodyPart.setText("Pardon Ideas");

Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);

// Part two is attachment
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
DataSource source = new FileDataSource(filename);
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
messageBodyPart.setFileName(filename);
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);

// Put parts in message
message.setContent(multipart);

// Send the message
Transport.send(message);

Hi,

Well, i got this code from Java mail , i dont know how it works. There they didn't say anything about reading the file. though i had my doubts about it.

Can someone tell me how to do this, in jsp???

I have found a code in java , but not sure how to use it in combine with jsp and html.

public void attach(File file) {
try {
mbp = new MimeBodyPart();
mbp.setFileName(file.getName());
mbp.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(new FileDataSource(file)));
mp.addBodyPart(mbp);
} catch (MessagingException me) {
me.printStackTrace();
}
}

What should i add in my code to be able to send mail with attachments in JSP and How?

Any code or example will be appreciated, thanx

venur : The JavaMail API does not require you to explicitly read in a file - this is what the line below does :

mbp.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(new FileDataSource(file)));

Khanjan :

I have no idea why your program will not work - the JavaMail code is fine (I've just tested it)

I expect either :

- your parameters from the request are no good
- the smpt host doesn't exist.
- the file doesn't exist

If you don't understand how some code works, I would advise learning how it works - copying code from the internet is fine, as long as you understand it. Else, how will you ever solve your own problems ? You will have to constantly rely on others ...

PS, this is the test prgram I ran

Code:

import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.activation.*;

public class TestEmail {
	public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
	  Properties props = new Properties();

	  props.put("mail.smtp.host", "servername");
	  Session s = Session.getInstance(props,null);

	  MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(s);

	  InternetAddress from = new InternetAddress("you@example.com");
	  message.setFrom(from);
	  String toAddress = "someone@somewhere.co.uk";
	  InternetAddress to = new InternetAddress(toAddress);
	  message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, to);

	  String subject = "subject";
	  message.setSubject(subject);
	  String text = "text";

		// Create the message part
		BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();

		// Fill the message
		messageBodyPart.setText("Pardon Ideas");

		Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
		multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);

		// Part two is attachment
		messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
		String filename = "C:/java/TestEmail.java";
		DataSource source = new FileDataSource(filename);
		messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
		messageBodyPart.setFileName(filename);
		multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);

		// Put parts in message
		message.setContent(multipart);

		// Send the message
		Transport.send(message);
	}
}
