Javax.mail.SendFailedException when sending attachment

[Lee Fei Tye]

Hi,

I've written a method to send email with attachment to recipients.

It worked in eclipse environment however it throws an exception when deployed in production.

The recipient will still receive the email however the attachment will not be available.

I believe there are some library files missing in production.

Can anyone tell me what library files I'm missing to make it work? The exception didn't state much.

below is the code and exception:

import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.mail.Message;
import javax.mail.Session;
import javax.mail.Transport;
import javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeBodyPart;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage;
import javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart;
import javax.mail.util.ByteArrayDataSource;
import javax.activation.DataHandler;
import javax.activation.DataSource;

public class PostMail {
    public boolean sendEmailWithAttachment(String recipients[], String subject, String message, String from, byte[] bytes, String filename, String MIMEtype) {
    	boolean debug = false;
    	
    	Properties props = System.getProperties();
    	props.put("mail.smtp.host", AppConstant.SYSTEM_PARAMETERS.get("mail.smtp.host"));
    	
    	Session session = Session.getInstance(props, null);
    	session.setDebug(debug);
    	
    	try {
    	    MimeBodyPart mbp1 = new MimeBodyPart();
    	    mbp1.setText(message);
    	    
    	    DataSource dataSource = new ByteArrayDataSource(bytes, MIMEtype);
    	    MimeBodyPart mbp2 = new MimeBodyPart();
    	    mbp2.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(dataSource));
    	    mbp2.setFileName(filename);
    	    
    	    MimeMultipart mimeMultipart = new MimeMultipart();
    	    mimeMultipart.addBodyPart(mbp1);
    	    mimeMultipart.addBodyPart(mbp2);
    	    
    	    InternetAddress iaSender = new InternetAddress(from);
    	    InternetAddress[] iaRecipient = new InternetAddress[recipients.length]; 

    	    for (int i = 0; i < recipients.length; i++)
    	    {
    	    	iaRecipient[i] = new InternetAddress(recipients[i]);
    	    }
    	    
    	    MimeMessage mimeMessage = new MimeMessage(session);
    	    mimeMessage.setSender(iaSender);
    	    mimeMessage.setSubject(subject);
    	    mimeMessage.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, iaRecipient);
    	    mimeMessage.setContent(mimeMultipart);
    	    mimeMessage.setSentDate(Calendar.getInstance().getTime());
    	    
    	    Transport.send(mimeMessage);
    	    
    	    return true;
    	} catch (Exception e) {
    		e.printStackTrace();
        	return false;
    	}
    }
}

Problem solved.

The java mail library files were missing.

I've included it and it worked instantly

Thanks.
