Error while compiling Web Dynpro program due to missing JAR files

Question

Hi Experts,
I am getting error message while compiling Web Dynpro program. The erring lines are as below:
          Message message = new MimeMessage(session);
          try {
               message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(fromMailId));
               message.addRecipient(
                    Message.RecipientType.TO,
                    new InternetAddress(toMailId));
               message.setSubject(mailSubject);
               message.setText(mailBody);
               message.setHeader("X-Mailer", "E-Mail");
               message.setSentDate(new Date());
               Transport.send(message);
The error messages are:
Message.ReceipientType can not be resolved
The method send(Message) is undefined for the type Transport
The method setFrom(InternetAddress) is undefined for the type Message
The method setHeader(String, String) is undefined for the type MessageThe method setSentDate(Date) is undefined for the type Message
The method setSubject(String) is undefined for the type Message
The method setText(String) is undefined for the type Message
Type mismatch: cannot convert from MimeMessage to Message
Can you please help me in resolving the issue. It seems that some API is missing. I believe if some one can tell me the name of JAR file / API then I will be able to sort out the issue. I will add these JAR file in my program.
Thanks,
S

HI Stuart,
you are missing the jar files required for sending mail in java
Installing JavaMail
You will need the latest version of JavaMail (Version 1.2) available here:
http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/
Download and unzip the file, in the newly created top level JavaMail directory you will find a number of jar files,
these need adding to your classpath.
To do this in Eclipse, right click on your project in the tree view, select properties, select the libraries tab.
Now click the 'Add external jars' button, navigate to your JavaMail directory and click on the jars.
The tutorial also makes use of the Java Activation Framework, which is available here:
http://java.sun.com/products/javabeans/glasgow/jaf.html
Instalation of JAF is identical to JavaMail
activation.jar / mail.jar are 2 distinct names i remember rest you will get above
P.S: close the question to assist other users narrow the search and find solutions
