send an attachment in email with java

I'm writing a java method to send email with an attachment.
I want to attach the file in target/results folder to the email. I'm unable to attach the email
Following is what i have so far:
public static void sendEmail() {
String to = "xyz#xyz.com";
String from = to;
String host = "mail.xyz.com";
String linkToLatestTest = getLink();
// Get the session object
Properties properties = System.getProperties();
properties.setProperty("mail.smtp.host", host);
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties);
// compose the message
try {
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(
to));
message.setSubject("Test results from today");
MimeBodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
messageBodyPart
.setText("Hello,\nThis is an email regarding latest test");
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
String filename = "target/results";
DataSource source = new FileDataSource(filename);
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
messageBodyPart.setFileName(filename);
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
message.setContent(multipart);
// Send message
Transport.send(message);
System.out.println("message sent successfully....");
} catch (MessagingException mex) {
mex.printStackTrace();
}
}
Here is the error that i got:
javax.mail.MessagingException: IOException while sending message;
nested exception is:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: target\results (Access is denied)

Any leads on this would be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

target\results looks like a directory as a target and you are trying to create a file named result without extension within that directory.
Better you can do as follows
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
String filename = "/home/user/file.txt";
DataSource source = new FileDataSource(filename);
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
messageBodyPart.setFileName(filename);
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
// Send the complete message parts
message.setContent(multipart);
And make sure that the directory where the file is located has proper access

How to attach a PDF in a mail using Java Mail?

public static String sendMail(
String destino,
String texto,
String asunto,
byte[] formulario,
String nombre) {
Properties properties = new Properties();
try{
Session session = Session.getInstance(properties);
Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress("reminder#companyname.com.ar"));
//Cargo el destino
if(destino!= null && destino.length > 0 && destino[0].length() > 0 ){
for (int i = 0; i < destino.length; i++) {
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,new InternetAddress(destino[i]));
}
}
//message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, InternetAddress.parse(to));
message.setSubject(asunto);
//I load the text and replace all the '&' for 'Enters' and the '#' for tabs
message.setText(texto.replaceAll("&","\n").replaceAll("#","\t"));
Transport.send(message);
return "Mensaje enviado con éxito";
}catch(Exception mex){
return mex.toString();
}
}
Hello everyone.
I was trying to figure out how can I attach the PDF sent by parameters as formulario in the code previously shown.
The company used to do the following trick for this matter but they need to change it for the one previously shown:
MimeBodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
messageBodyPart.setText(
texto.replaceAll("&", "\n").replaceAll("#", "\t"));
//msg.setText(texto.replaceAll("&","\n").replaceAll("#","\t"));
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(
new DataHandler(
(DataSource) new InputStreamDataSource(formulario,
"EDD",
"application/pdf")));
messageBodyPart.setFileName(nombre + ".pdf");
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
msg.setContent(multipart);
msg.saveChanges();
Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
transport.connect(
"smtp.gmail.com",
"reminder#companyname.com.ar",
"companypassword");
transport.sendMessage(msg, msg.getAllRecipients());
transport.close();
return "Mensaje enviado con éxito";
} catch (Exception mex) {
return mex.toString();

Since you already can send emails, the adjust your code and add the following part to your code
// Create a default MimeMessage object.
Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
// Set From: header field of the header.
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
// Set To: header field of the header.
message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
InternetAddress.parse(to));
// Set Subject: header field
message.setSubject("Testing Subject");
// Create the message part
BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
// Now set the actual message
messageBodyPart.setText("This is message body");
// Create a multipar message
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
// Set text message part
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
// Part two is attachment
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
String filename = "/home/file.pdf";
DataSource source = new FileDataSource(filename);
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
messageBodyPart.setFileName(filename);
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
// Send the complete message parts
message.setContent(multipart);
// Send message
Transport.send(message);
System.out.println("Sent message successfully....");
original code taken from here

Is formulario a byte array in both cases? If so, just rewrite the first block of code to construct the message using the technique in the second block of code. Or replace InputStreamDataSource with ByteArrayDataSource in the new version.

The sending email with attachment is similar to sending email but here the additional functionality is with message sending a file or document by making use of MimeBodyPart, BodyPart classes.
The process for sending mail with attachment involves session object, MimeBody, MultiPart objects. Here the MimeBody is used to set the text message and it is carried by MultiPart object. Because of MultiPart object here sending attachment.
try {
// Create a default MimeMessage object.
Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
// Set From: header field of the header.
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
// Set To: header field of the header.
message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
InternetAddress.parse(to));
// Set Subject: header field
message.setSubject("Attachment");
// Create the message part
BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
// Now set the actual message
messageBodyPart.setText("Please find the attachment below");
// Create a multipar message
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
// Set text message part
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
// Part two is attachment
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
String filename = "D:/test.PDF";
DataSource source = new FileDataSource(filename);
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
messageBodyPart.setFileName(filename);
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
// Send the complete message parts
message.setContent(multipart);
// Send message
Transport.send(message);
System.out.println("Email Sent Successfully !!");
} catch (MessagingException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}

Issue attaching zip file in javamail

I was trying to attach a zip file using javamail and was getting the below error :
"com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPSendFailedException: 552-5.7.0 This message was blocked because its content presents a potential

I have also provided the code if needed.

I guess you have not set MIME type for the multipart attachements that you send. Try to set it and see
The standard MIME type for ZIP files is application/zip.
Also try application/octet-stream if it dosen't work

I believe the issue was some how related to content of the zip file . I changed the zip file and it is working fine

Please make sure that network access is OK, The problem seems to be network access permission
First : try to ping from your machine to mail server if ok, it's visable to you
Second : try to send simple mail (subject/content)
Third : try to attach simple doc (txt file)

You should create MimeMultipart, MimeBodyPart, FileDataSource and DataHandler as follows:
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
String filePath = "<file system path>";
String fileName = "display name"
DataSource source = new FileDataSource(file);
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
messageBodyPart.setFileName(fileName);
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
Now, On MimeMessage use setContent method.

How Can I put a HTML link Inside an email body?

I have an application that can send mails, implemented in Java. I want to put a HTML link inside de mail, but the link appears as normal letters, not as HTML link...
How can i do to inside the HTML link into a String? I need special characters? thank you so much
Update:
HI evereybody! thanks for oyu answers! Here is my code:
public static boolean sendMail(Properties props, String to, String from,
String password, String subject, String body)
{
try
{
MimeBodyPart mbp = new MimeBodyPart();
mbp.setContent(body, "text/html");
MimeMultipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
multipart.addBodyPart(mbp);
// Preparamos la sesion
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props);
// Construimos el mensaje
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
message.setContent(multipart);
message.addRecipient(
Message.RecipientType.TO,
new InternetAddress(to));
message.setSubject(subject);
message.setText(body);
// Lo enviamos.
Transport t = session.getTransport("smtp");
t.connect(from, password);
t.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
// Cierre.
t.close();
return true;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
return false;
}
}
And here the body String:
String link = "ACTIVAR CUENTA";
But in the received message the link appears as the link string, not as HTML hyperlink! I don't understand what happens...
Any solution?

Adding the link is as simple as adding the text inside the string. You should set your email to support html (it depends on the library you are using), and you should not escape your email content before sending it.
Update: since you are using java.mail, you should set the text this way:
message.setText(body, "UTF-8", "html");
html is the mime subtype (this will result in text/html). The default value that is used by the setText(string) method is plain

I'm just going to answer in case this didn't work for someone else.
I tried Bozho's method and for some reason the email wouldn't send when I did the setText on the message as a whole.
I tried
MimeBodyPart mbp = new MimeBodyPart();
mbp.setContent(body, "text/html");
but this came as an attachment in Outlook instead of in the usual text. To fix this for me, and in Outlook, instead of doing the mbp.setContent and message.setText, I just did a single setText on the message body part. ie:
MimeBodyPart mbp = new MimeBodyPart();
mbp.setText(messageBody,"UTF-8", "html");
With my code for the message looking like this:
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
for(String str : to){
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(str));
}
message.setSubject(subject);
// Create the message part
MimeBodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
// Fill the message
messageBodyPart.setText(messageBody,"UTF-8","html");
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
// Put parts in message
message.setContent(multipart);
// Send the message
Transport.send(message);

Appending "http://" before the URL worked for me.

We can create html link in the email body by using java code.In my case I am developing reset password where I should create link and send to the user through the mail.you will create one string.With in a string you type all the url.If you add the http to the that .it behaves like link with in the mail.
Ex:String mailBody ="http://localhost:8080/Mail/verifytoken?token="+ token ;
you can send some value with url by adding query string.Her token has some encrypted value.
put mailBody in your mail body parameter.
ex": "Hi "+userdata.getFirstname()+
"\n\n You have requested for a new password from the X application. Please use the below Link to log in."+
"\n\n Click on Link: "+mailBody);
The above is the string that is parameter that you have to pass to your mail service.Email service takes parameters like from,to,subject,body.Here I have given body how it should be.you pass the from ,to,subject values according to your cast

you can do right way it is working for me.
