How can I send attachment information to sendmail

Question

I am trying to allow users to upload files from my web site and then send me an email with the attachment. I am able to upload the files to my server but I am having problems including the attachments with my
The code is simple, I just cannot seem to make the connection and make it one step.
Here is my code:
<%
FileUploadBean.doUpload(request);
out.println("Filename:" + FileUploadBean.getFilename());
out.println("<BR>Content Type:" + FileUploadBean.getContentType());
     String mailServer = "";
String attachment = FileUploadBean.getFilename();          
     String [] to = {""};
     //String [] to = {""};
     String from = "";
     String subject = "";
     String body = "";
subject = "Document Request";
body = "Testing attachment\n\n";
     body = body + "test: " + attachment + "\n\n";
the_mail.sendEmail (mailServer, subject, to ,from, body, attachment);          
%>
email and am getting the follow error:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP/usr/local/netscape/server4/https-kb-dev/config/../ClassCache/_jsps/_test_post_jsp.java:159: Incompatible type for method. Can't convert java.lang.String to java.lang.String[][].
the_mail.sendEmail (mailServer, subject, to ,from, body, attachment);          

Answer 1

themail.class contains two parts:
one themail--Loads the application configuration files
two sendmail--builds the emails and sends it.
Send Mail:
public void sendEmail (String mailServer, String subject, String to[], String from, String messageText, String[][] filenames)
I have the parameters in the right order, I am just not sure how to format the (String[][] filenames) so the sendmail will accept it.
The error is occurring right here, (String[][] filenames),I am just not sure what needs to be done to correct it.
