DOS bat-file mail via Java

Hi,

I need to make a dos bat-file to shedule.
In this bat-file I call sqlplus to run a query that works fine.
The results of that query needs to be mailed to an address.
On the same machine I found an example of an old college. In his bat-file the last instruction is :
java -cp .;D:\BR\com\util\activation.jar;D:\BR\com\util\mail.jar com.util.CheckFile "D:\BR\LOG\UL3.bad" "mailadres@mail.du" "SQLLOADER" "111.x.111.xx" "Results of query
In the directory where I found his bat-file there is a diretory com\util with the files activation.jar, mail.jar and CheckFile.Class.
I copied this to my directory but it seems not to work (when executing the bat-file I receive an error on that mailing) . I have no experience with java at all.
I think that I may not copy the jar-file. But I need to install something? Also the Checkfile.Class I think I have to change this, but how can I do this. (With notepad it is rubbish)

Can someone give me a hint how I can solve this.

Thanks

just use the WSH smtp option, or something like this (from here:http://www.paulsadowski.com/WSH/cmdmail.htm)

@echo off & setlocal
:: set the temp file location
set tempmail=%temp%\tempmail.%random%.txt
:: echo the basic headers to the temp file
echo To: "Scripting Test" ^<test@paulsadowski.com^> > %tempmail%
echo From: "Me" ^<me@my.com^> >> %tempmail%
echo Subject: Test2 >> %tempmail%
:: echo the blank line that separates the header from the body text
echo.>>%tempmail%
:: echo the body text to the temp file
echo First line of body text.>> %tempmail%
echo Second line of body text.>> %tempmail%
:: move the temp file to the mail pickup directory
:: adjust this location for your system
move %tempmail% c:\inetpub\mailroot\pickup
set tempmail=
endlocal

For commandline send mail, it's best to use BLAT (www.blat.net). It allows for many options including sending attachments, and needs nothing installed on the executing PC.

try this:
Set objEmail = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
objEmail.From = "fromaddress@from.com"
objEmail.To = "toaddress@to.com"
objEmail.Subject = "subjkect"
objEmail.Textbody = "message"
objEmail.Send

If you have any MAPI client on the computer, it should work by using those settings.
