Iam unable to attach multiple files to a email using javamail?

Question

Hai to all,
Sorry that snipnet is for only one attachment ,
iam sending my topic again,plese go through it.
Iam unable to send multiple attachments with a email,see
iam have succeeded in sending one attachment with a email.
when iam tring to add two or more attachments to a mail,
it is giving a Exception like this:
javax.mail.MessagingException: IOException while sending message;
nested exception is:
java.io.IOException: No content
at com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport.sendMessage(SMTPTransport.java:577)
at javax.mail.Transport.send0(Transport.java:151)
at javax.mail.Transport.send(Transport.java:80)
at AttachFilesModified.sendMail(AttachFilesModified.java:185)
at AttachFilesModified.main(AttachFilesModified.java:43)
this is my code snipnet:
BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
if(body != null)
messageBodyPart.setText(body);
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
/*if(attachments != null)
for(int i = 0; i < attachments.length; i++)
String filename="D:\\nagaraju\\apachi\\axis-bin-1_3.zip";
//String s[]=filename.split("\\");
//System.out.println(s);
//String s1=s[1];
//String filename1=s[s.length-1];
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
DataSource source = new FileDataSource(filename);
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
messageBodyPart.setFileName(filename);
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
//second file attaching
String filename1="C:\\nagadoc.txt";
BodyPart messageBodyPart1=new MimeBodyPart();
DataSource source1=new FileDataSource(filename1);
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source1));
messageBodyPart.setFileName(filename1);
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart1);
mess.setContent(multipart);
Address[] allRecips = mess.getAllRecipients();
if(toStdOut)
System.out.println("done.");
//System.out.println("Sending message (\"" + mess.getSubject().substring(0,10) + "...\") to :");
System.out.println("Sending message................");
for(int i = 0; i < allRecips.length; i++)
System.out.print(allRecips + ";");
System.out.println("...");
Transport.send(mess);
if(toStdOut)
System.out.println("done.");
return 0;
What's wrng with that code snipnet?

This works fine with me, try it or compare it if you want.
public void sendEmail( String from, String to,
String subject, String body) {
fMailServerConfig.put("mail.smtp.host", " <<mail server>>");
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance( fMailServerConfig, null );
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage( session );
try {
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
message.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,
new InternetAddress(to));
message.setSubject( subject);
message.setText( body);
//Adds Attechment:
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
messageBodyPart.setText("Here are my attachments");
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
//first attachment
DataSource source = new FileDataSource("C:\\img1.jpg");
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
messageBodyPart.setFileName("C:\\Telnor1.jpg");
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
//Second attachment
DataSource source2 = new FileDataSource("C:\\img2.jpg");
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source2));
messageBodyPart.setFileName("C:\\Telnor2.jpg");
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
//etc...
message.setContent(multipart);
Transport.send( message );
}catch (MessagingException e){
System.err.println("Cant send mail. " + e);
The error on your code might be:
BodyPart messageBodyPart1=new MimeBodyPart();
DataSource source1=new FileDataSource(filename1);
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source1));
messageBodyPart.setFileName(filename1);
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart1);
You don't need to create a new BodyPart, and apart from that you'r seting values on "messageBodyPart" but adding "messageBodyPart1" to your multipart :P
Well see u and have a good one!
p.s. i know it's a little late from the day you posted, but at least it might help somebody else :D .
