This problem was fixed by putting activation.jar,mail.jar from my
C:\Java5\SDK\lib directory into my tomcats's common/lib directory.
That is along with my mysql-connector-java-3.1.13-bin into Tomcat's common/lib
that I already had placed there.
I realized this after seeing Tomcat's log folder which had a roller
file stating following:
