sending email attachment with Struts?

[Mitch Abaza]

I'm looking for sample code that shows how to add a FormFile object as an attachment to a javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage object. All examples I have seen are using servlets and a File object, which I can't really use.

I know I can derive an InputStream from FormFile.getInputStream, and that the MimeBodyPart class takes an InputStream as a constructor, but I can't get the header information to make sense. Whenever I send the email, the attachment doesn't show up.

Here's some pseudo code that I have so far (attachment is a FormFile object):
==========================================


Message message = new MimeMessage( session );
message.setFrom( new InternetAddress( address, name ) );
message.setRecipient( Message.RecipientType.BCC, ia );
message.setSubject(subject);

Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();

MimeBodyPart messageBodyPart1 = new MimeBodyPart();

messageBodyPart1.setContent(bodyText, "text/plain" );

multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart1);

MimeBodyPart messageBodyPart2 = new MimeBodyPart(attachment.getInputStream());
messageBodyPart2.setFileName(attachment.getFileName());
messageBodyPart2.addHeader("Content-Transfer-Encoding","base64");

multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart2);

message.setContent(multipart);

Transport.send( message );

Hi,
I dont have exact idea. But in my application i was using Java Mail API for sending a mail with attachment. My requirement was to create a file at runtime and then send it as an attachment to multiple users.
I have used java mail api only. Its very simple . When we download it , we will get example . I think that will be helpful for you.

Try it ok

In struts Framework, you can call your send mail program from Subclass of Action Class in Struts Framework.


I think, Struts Framework is a workflow control so if you understand concept of struts framework and develop application with it which help you understand in struts framework.
