Send mail with attachments

[Sree Jag]

Hi all,

I am writing an email application with attachments. i realise that we should store the file that is selected by the client on the client machine in a temporary directory on the server that is running the email application.

I am using tomcat 5.0.19

can somebody please tell me how to store the file on the server temporarily and delete it after sending the mail?

Thanks in advance,
Seshu

you will need some sort of 3rd party "file upload" package.

There are two popular (free/nearly free) ones:
