i am trying to attach a fiel to an email using JavaMail. This all works fine, but the file displays it's full file path name in the sent email.
the only way i have been able to get around this is if i attach a file that exists in user.dir.
unfortunately this is not practical, becasue i am trying to to use this in a web application, and the fie tht is created needs to be in a directroy exclusive to each web client.
can anyone help ?
// Get system properties
Properties props = System.getProperties();
System.out.println("sendEmailWithAttachment - 1");
// Setup mail server
props.put("mail.smtp.host", smtpServer);
System.out.println("sendEmailWithAttachment - 2");
// Get session
//Session session = Session.getInstance(props, null);
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
System.out.println("sendEmailWithAttachment - 3");
// Define message
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom( new InternetAddress(msgFrom) );
message.addRecipient( Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(msgTo) );
message.setSubject(msgSubject);
System.out.println("sendEmailWithAttachment - 4");
// create the message part
MimeBodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
System.out.println("sendEmailWithAttachment - 5");
//fill message
messageBodyPart.setText(msgBody);
System.out.println("sendEmailWithAttachment - 6");
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
System.out.println("sendEmailWithAttachment - 7");
// Part two is attachment
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
DataSource source = new FileDataSource(attachmentName);
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler( new DataHandler(source) );
messageBodyPart.setFileName(attachmentName);
//messageBodyPart.setFileName("dt.txt");
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
System.out.println("sendEmailWithAttachment - 8");
// Put parts in message
message.setContent(multipart);
message.setSentDate(new Date());
System.out.println("sendEmailWithAttachment - 9");
// Send the message
Transport.send( message );
