Problem in sending a mail from a servlet

[Arun Kumar Gaddam]

Hi Ranchers,

I am developing a servlet which will send email... i am calling a java class from that servlet which will take care of sending the mail. But when i am trying it as standalone its working fine, but trying from a servlet its giving problem like throwing .
Javax.activation.DataSource class is not found.
But i have added all the jars required for that.. incuding javax.action.*

What may be the problem??

Thaks and regards in advance...

I hope it will work if you add activation.jar file.

i have done that also ,not only i added that jar to web-inf lib but also to tomcat lib....... but at the last same problem................ it is giving exception at this line...........

MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);

You put it in 'web-inf' or you put it in 'WEB-INF'?

Ok ill post the code........


//Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());
//Adding required properties to send an email
Properties props = new Properties();
props.setProperty("mail.transport.protocol", "smtp");
props.setProperty("mail.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.port", "465");
//props.put("mail.debug", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", "465");
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class","javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory");
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback", "false");

System.out.println("Added all properties ..........\n");

//Creating an session object
System.out.println("==== 1 =====");
//javax.mail.Session sess = javax.mail.Session.getDefaultInstance(props,new Authenticate());
javax.mail.Session sess = javax.mail.Session.getInstance(props,new Authenticate());
//session.setDebug(true);

System.out.println("==== 2 =====");

//Creating an transport object
Transport transport = sess.getTransport();

InternetAddress addressFrom = new InternetAddress(_userName);

javax.mail.Message message = new MimeMessage(sess);------>1

System.out.println("Created an mimemessage obj........\n");
InternetAddress _to=new InternetAddress(email);


message.setRecipient(RecipientType.TO, _to);
message.setSubject("YOUR PASSWORD");
message.setContent(_emailMessageText, "text/html");
//message.addRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,_to);

System.out.println("Message obj ready to transport.....\n");

transport.connect();
transport.send(message);
transport.close();

System.out.print(" \nSuccess, Email sent to "+email);

System.out.println("<============== After sending to SendEmail class ============>\n");
System.out.println("Email Sent ....");*/

RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher("successemail.jsp");
rd.forward(request, response);




Its throwing exception at line ------->1

If the original poster is having a problem with a class not found exception, and has already stated that his code is working in a stand alone application, how would posting his code help?

[karthikeyan Chockalingam]

The three jars needed to send mail with your code are activation.jar, mailapi.jar and smtp.jar. Of these 3 jars only activation.jar contains javax.activation.DataSource.

Hence kindly ensure you have copied it in the correct WEB-INF/lib. [There may be a chance you are copying it into yet another web application's WEB-INF/lib.
