Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi everyone,

Thanks for reading this. I've compiled a simple JavaBean that uses JavaMail and JavaActivationFramework (javax.mail, javax.activation are imported). It is supposed to send mail, and it is very close doing so.

In my jsp page, I've included the following lines :

<jsp:useBean id="sendmail" class="jspbeans.SendMail" scope="page"/>
<jsp:setProperty name="sendmail" property="host" value="mail.mycompany.com"/>
<jsp:setProperty name="sendmail" property="to" value="me@mycompany.com"/>
<jsp:setProperty name="sendmail" property="from" value="me@hiscompanyl.com"/>
<jsp:setProperty name="sendmail" property="msg" value="From my jsp page !"/>
<jsp:setProperty name="sendmail" property="subject" value="An alert has been sent to you"/>
<%= sendmail.getMsg() %>

No problems there, my page displays the message, so the Bean is correctly included. But when I had the function call that actually sends the message :
<%sendmail.send()%>
I obtain an annoying error about the activation framework:

All references to this error points to the CLASSPATH, but I've double checked everything. My OS is Windows XP, and my classpath is :
D:\oracle\ora92\jdbc\lib\classes12.zip;D:\oracle\ora92\jdbc\lib\nls_charset12.zip;D:\Java\j2eesdk1.4_beta2\lib\j2ee.jar;D:\Java\jaf-1.0.2\activation.jar;d:\Java\javamail-1.3.1\mail.jar

In JRUN console, I've added two new classpath entries for the default server, pointing to activation.jar and mail.jar... and I made a copy of activation.jar in about any pertient /lib folder I've found on my computer :-)

Please help me, I'm so close to success!

Thanks !

Tom
