Java mail attachment not working on Tomcat
- by losintikfos
Hello guys,
I have an application which e-mails confirmations. The email part utilises Commons Mail API. The simple code which does the send mail is as shown below;
import org.apache.commons.mail.*;
...
// Create the attachment
EmailAttachment attachment = new EmailAttachment();
attachment.setURL(new URL("http://cashew.org/doc.pdf"));
attachment.setDisposition(EmailAttachment.ATTACHMENT);
attachment.setDescription("Testing attach");
attachment.setName("doc.pdf");
// Create the email message
MultiPartEmail email = new MultiPartEmail();
email.setHostName("mail.cashew.com");
email.addTo("ben@cashew.org");
email.setFrom("lot@cashew.org");
email.setSubject("Testing);
email.setMsg("testing message");
// add the attachment
email.attach(attachment);
// send the email
email.send();
My problem is, when I execute this application from Eclipse, I get email sent with attachment without any issues. But when i deploy the application to Tomcat server (I have
tried both version 5 & 6 no joy), the e-mail is sent with below content;
------=_Part_0_25002283.1275298567928

One thing also I have noticed is, the header information donot show TO and Subject values. Hmm pretty wierd.
I have to point out that, above is not generated of DEBUG, it is the actual message recieved in my outlook client.
Can someone help me please!
Do anyone knows what's going on?
