Email from website form w/ attachment using JavaMail API and nothing else

Asked by rleblanc41 in Java Server Pages (JSP), JavaMail, Java Servlets

Tags: JavaMail, Java, JSP

I am trying to send an e-mail with an attachment from a web site using ONLY the JavaMail API. A user will be able to access a form (shown as FORM.JSP in the attached code) and can send across a subject, to, from, and CC. Then they browse for their file and attach. Upon clicking submit, the processMail.jsp page needs to build the e-mail out, attach the file, and send.

I have attached where I am so far in the code (thanks to rrz@871311). I can't figure out how to extract the field information for subject, to, from, etc. And the attachment comes across not as an attached file, but as gibberish in the e-mail body (see below). I have also attached the test file I am using to attach in the test.

Please help!!!

This is what comes across in the e-mail:
OLoOO?ALOOWCO OOO!#MWOAWOLOB?M?OOOOLoO#OOOOOOOOL_OOOOx$OOOOOOOOOM OOOOOOOOOOWOO KOMDOOI GO-O@OONOOOOOO1OOOOOOOB?MWON?OO!OOOOOO#OOOODOOOOM?OOOOOOOOO#OOOODOOOOM?OOOOOOOOL OI 9h )O DOH3OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH3OOOOOOAOOOOOAOOOOOH3OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL S?OOOOOOO OOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOO@ OOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOO@ OOOOOOG/OO5}OOOOOOOO}OOOOOOOOOOOOoOOO)OOOOOOOOIOOOOOOOOOOOO@ OOOOO9O@ OOOO@
and on and on and on and on...
