attach.jsp

   String filename = request.getParameter("file1");           
 
          System.out.println(filename);
          System.out.println(request.getParameter("email"));
          DataSource source = new FileDataSource(filename);
          messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
          messageBodyPart.setFileName(filename);
          multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
 
          m.setContent(multipart);
 
          // Send the message
        //transport.send(m);
           System.out.println("Msg Send ....");

Are you sure, you placing the files at the correct directory of your local server (say tomcat or whatever you using)?

actually i need pass the file that i select from my pc and then sent to my email. it means i cannot upload that file? i need save the file in to server first then server will pass the file to the email?
it is correct ??
