POTeaching javax.mail, javax.activation to recognize mime type of mail attachment in web application
text
Body
copied!<p>Im sending mails from a web application running on a glassfish server, which was quite easy with the java mail API.</p> <p>I'm starting now to attach files (mainly pdf and odt) to the mail, which works to, but the mime type of the attachment is not correctly set (application/octet-stream). I tried to attach the file with:</p> <pre><code>MimeBodyPart mimeBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart(); mimeBodyPart.attachFile(file); </code></pre> <p>and: </p> <pre><code>messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart(); FileDataSource source = new FileDataSource(file); messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source)); messageBodyPart.setFileName(file.getName()); </code></pre> <p>But its the same result. From <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/FAQ.html#filetype" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> i have the hint to place a mime.types file in the META-INF folder of my application but this does not seem to work for me. I tried id in the META-INF of the war and the ear of my application.</p> <p>Enabling debug for javax.activation gives me this:</p> <blockquote> <p>INFO: MimetypesFileTypeMap: load HOME</p> <p>INFO: MimetypesFileTypeMap: load SYS</p> <p>INFO: MimetypesFileTypeMap: load JAR</p> <p>INFO: MimetypesFileTypeMap: !anyLoaded</p> <p>INFO: MimetypesFileTypeMap: not loading mime types file: /META-INF/mime.types</p> <p>INFO: MimetypesFileTypeMap: load DEF</p> </blockquote> <p>Where do i have to put the mime.types file or how can a mime types to my web application?</p> <p>Thanks Raffael</p>
