[Friday] struts and email

[Braun, James F]

The goal is to upload a file and have it automatically emailed to a
recipient. 
 
In my .jsp page I have:
   <html:file property="attachment" styleClass="textBody"/>
 
In my action form I have:
  private FormFile attachment;
 
My email code looks like this:
  void sendMessage()
  {
    try // multipart/mixed
    {
      // Get system properties
      Properties props = System.getProperties();
 
      // Setup mail server
      props.put("mail.smtp.host", DCL.emailHost);
 
      // Get session
      Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
 
      // Define message
      MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
 
      // from
      message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
      // to
      message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new
InternetAddress(to));
      // subject
      message.setSubject(subject);
 
      // create multipart container
      Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
 
      // message text
      BodyPart messageBP = new MimeBodyPart();
      messageBP.setText(text);
      multipart.addBodyPart(messageBP);
 
      // attachment
      if(attachment != null)
      {
        try
        {
          ByteArrayInputStream in = new
ByteArrayInputStream(attachment.getFileData(),0,attachment.getFileSize()
);
          MimeBodyPart mimein = new MimeBodyPart(in);
          mimein.setFileName(attachment.getFileName());
 
          //DataSource source = new MimePartDataSource(mimein);
 
          //MimeBodyPart attachBP = new MimeBodyPart();
          //attachBP.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
 
          //attachBP.setFileName(attachment.getFileName());
          multipart.addBodyPart(mimein);
        }
        catch(MessagingException ex1)
        {
        }
        catch(FileNotFoundException ex1)
        {
        }
        catch(IOException ex1)
        {
        }
      }
 
      // assemble parts
      message.setContent(multipart);
 
      // Send message
      Transport.send(message);
    }
    catch(MessagingException ex)
    {
    }
  }
 
The problem is that the file is corrupted when it gets delivered. It
starts out as a 17k file and gets delivered as a 13k file.
 
Can anyone help point out where I'm going wrong and/or a better way to
do this? It's driving me nuts. (nothing to pack a lunch for I admit)
 
Thanks, J.
