javax.mail problem

[relisys]

Evening guys,

Running a servlet which runs fine. I added a sendEmail method to auto send emails, however when i add this and compile it, Apache bombs out saying file cannot be found.

But when I remove this method the servlet runs normally - any ideas would be appreciated!

Could it be a missing jar file? Tomcat would have to know where mailapi.jar, smtp.jar and activation.jar are...

Can you post the runtime exception you're getting?

Indeed activation.jar and mail.jar were missing - added and it works perfectly (albeit for a Relaying denied error - but need to change the smtp server yet!)

Cheers!
