How To Send Multiple Attachments In An Email

[kayanaat sidiqui]

Hi,

Can anybody tell me that how to send more than one file in attachment of email using java mail api.

In my case the number of attachment is not fixed. But i have to pick it up from one given location.
Like location of folder is : d:\backup
now in backup folder there may be more than one file, which i need to attach.

Please help me.

Thanks,
Kaya.

you can use javax.mail.Multipart and addbodypart method for adding attachment using java mail api .

Hope this helps ..

Hi,
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
MimeBodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();

messageBodyPart.setText(message);
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);

//attachment...
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();

String fileAttachment = "D:\\timer.txt";
DataSource source = new FileDataSource(fileAttachment);
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler( new DataHandler(source));
messageBodyPart.setFileName("a1.txt");
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);

//second attachment
MimeBodyPart messageBodyPart2 = new MimeBodyPart();
DataSource source2 = new FileDataSource("D:\\searchQuery.txt");
messageBodyPart2.setDataHandler( new DataHandler(source2));
messageBodyPart2.setFileName("a2.txt");
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart2);
. . .

msg.setContent(multipart);

Hope this is helpful:)
