unable to attach MimeMultiPart to Transport.send()

508 views Asked by At

I am trying to send an email with java but I keep getting an IOException any idea what i'm doing wrong? I think it is something with t.send not being Transport.send() but I couldn't seem to get it to work I kept getting could not connect errors after that.. any help would be greatly appreciated :)

public void Send(String recipientEmail) throws AddressException, MessagingException {
    Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());
    final String SSL_FACTORY = "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory";
    String title = titleBox.getText();
    // Get a Properties object
    Properties props = System.getProperties();
    props.setProperty("mail.smtps.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
    props.setProperty("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class", SSL_FACTORY);
    props.setProperty("mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback", "false");
    props.setProperty("mail.smtp.port", "465");
    props.setProperty("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", "465");
    props.setProperty("mail.smtps.auth", "true");


    props.put("mail.smtps.quitwait", "false");

    Session session = Session.getInstance(props, null);
    String ccEmail = "";
    // -- Create a new message --
    final MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);

    // -- Set the FROM and TO fields --
    msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(emailUsername + "@gmail.com"));
    msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, InternetAddress.parse(recipientEmail, false));

    if (ccEmail.length() > 0) {
        msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.CC, InternetAddress.parse(ccEmail, false));
    }
    String message = messageBox.getText();
    msg.setSubject(title);
    MimeBodyPart messagePart = new MimeBodyPart();
    messagePart.setText(message);
    multipart.addBodyPart(messagePart);
    //msg.setText(message, "utf-8");
    msg.setSentDate(new Date());
    msg.setContent(multipart);
    SMTPTransport t = (SMTPTransport)session.getTransport("smtps");

    t.connect("smtp.gmail.com", emailUsername, emailPassword);
    t.sendMessage(msg, msg.getAllRecipients());
    //Transport.send(msg);
    t.close();
}

I am able to ping smtp.gmail.com correctly the connection issues I believe were due to using Transport.send() also this worked before I started using MultiParts because i had sent emails using it before

here is the stack trace

It would appear you're not setting your content type for your message.

Before you make the call to send the e-mail you can add:

MailcapCommandMap mc = (MailcapCommandMap) CommandMap.getDefaultCommandMap();
    mc.addMailcap("text/html;; x-java-content-handler=com.sun.mail.handlers.text_html");
    mc.addMailcap("text/xml;; x-java-content-handler=com.sun.mail.handlers.text_xml");
    mc.addMailcap("text/plain;; x-java-content-handler=com.sun.mail.handlers.text_plain");
    mc.addMailcap("multipart/*;; x-java-content-handler=com.sun.mail.handlers.multipart_mixed");
    mc.addMailcap("message/rfc822;; x-java-content-handler=com.sun.mail.handlers.message_rfc822");
    CommandMap.setDefaultCommandMap(mc);

The Java Activation Framework used by JavaMail is not configured correctly, in this case.

It doesn't know how to handle the multipart/mixed content type.

See this and this answer for more information.

This message indicates that the DCH content handler for the multipart/mixed content-type could not be found in your classpath.

I'm not sure how you are creating the 'multipart' in your code sample but given the exception you are recieving it is likely you are using the default constructor which would explain the content-type of multipart/mixed.

You should not add mail cap mappings statically, you will run in to further problems if you don't resolve this properly.

I suggest checking your project dependencies and make sure the activation.jar is in your class path.

If you are using maven you can use:

mvn dependency:tree

Failing that you can add the activation framework to your project using the following dependency declarations:

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.activation</groupId>
    <artifactId>activation</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.1</version>
</dependency>

Gradle Dependency:

'javax.activation:activation:1.1.1'
