javax.activation.UnsupportedDataTypeException: no object DCH for MIME type multipart/mixed; boundary

Currently I’m inline of writing a code that will be listening to a directory. when the directory is updated with .apk file, I’ll send a mail with this .apk file to a gmail account. I’m using Jnotify and JAVA Mail in my program.

The Error I’m getting is,

javax.mail.MessagingException: IOException while sending message;
  nested exception is:
javax.activation.UnsupportedDataTypeException: no object DCH for MIME type multipart/mixed; boundary="----=_Part_0_145238.1392728439484"

I looked for the solutions given in the stackoverflow for help but none of them where helpful.

Thanks in Advance

public void fileCreated(int wd, String rootPath, String name) {
    print("created " + rootPath + " : " + name);

    if (name.contains(".apk"))
      SendEmail(name);
    else
        System.out.println("Not the APK file");
}

void SendEmail(String strname){
    String Path = "D:/POC/Email/apk folder/"+strname;
    System.out.println("Path->" + Path);

    Properties props = new Properties();
    props.put("mail.smtp.host","173.194.78.108");
    props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", "465");
    props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class","javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory");
    props.put("mail.smtp.auth","true");
    props.put("mail.smtp.port","465");

    System.out.println("Properties has been set properly");

    Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props,
        new javax.mail.Authenticator(){
            protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication(){
                return new PasswordAuthentication("SenderEmailID@gmail.com", "senderPassword");
            }
        }
    );

    System.out.println("Session Created successfully");

    try{
        Message message = new MimeMessage(session); 
        message.setFrom(new InternetAddress("SenderEmailID@gmail.com"));
        message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, InternetAddress.parse("ToReceiverEmailID@gmail.com"));
        message.setSubject("Android : " + strname);

        MimeBodyPart msgbody = new MimeBodyPart();
        msgbody.setText("This is the message content which is sent using JAVA MAIL 1.4.5");
        Multipart mulpart = new MimeMultipart();
        mulpart.addBodyPart(msgbody);

        //Attachement Starts here.
        msgbody = new MimeBodyPart();
        javax.activation.DataSource source = new FileDataSource(Path);
        msgbody.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
        msgbody.setFileName(strname);
        message.setContent(mulpart);

        System.out.println("Attached the message going to start transporting the mail");

        //If I've the code before sending the email is getting sent but without attachment. 
        //Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader( getClass().getClassLoader() );

        Transport.send(message);
        System.out.println("Mail Sent successfully");
    }
    catch(MessagingException msg){
        msg.printStackTrace();
    }
    catch(Exception e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Answer

This issue can get a solution by taking up the below two steps.

  1. Make sure java mail is 1.4.7.(Previously I used 1.4.5 which led to all confusions). Download it from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index-138643.html
  2. Add this piece of code before sending the message:
    Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader( getClass().getClassLoader() );
