HELP!! no object DCM for MIME type text/html error
I hope someone can help me please. I keep getting the following error whenever I try and send a mail. I don't understand why as the same code functions perfectly in my dev environment(JBuilder 4), but under Tomcat 3.2.1 it throws this.
I have got both the mail.jar and activation.jar in my classpath.
Is this something to do with Tomcat?
javax.servlet.ServletException: Sending failed;
nested exception is:
javax.mail.MessagingException: IOException while sending message;
nested exception is:
javax.activation.UnsupportedDataTypeException: no object DCH for MIME type text/html

Any help much appreciated!!!
Try this ..... I hope it will solve your prblm.
msg.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(new
ByteArrayDataSource(texto.toString(), "text/html")));
msg.setText("Your mail msg");
Message msg = new MimeMessage(sesion);
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress("from address"));
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
InternetAddress.parse("toaddress", false));
msg.setSubject("Your subject");
msg.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(new
ByteArrayDataSource(texto.toString(), "text/html")));
msg.setText("Your mail msg");
// Send message
Transport.send(msg);

Cheers. I was using setContent() instead of the lower level setDataHandler(). Even though they should both work!!All fine now though :-)
FYI...
Got the same error, and the solution worked (thanks!). But I noticed the 'ByteArrayDataSource' class does not come pre-packaged in the JavaMail, Activation (JAF), or my iPlanet JAR files. However, I found it included in the JavaMail example folder. Once I compiled and included it in my classpath, the JSP worked.
Here is the ByteArrayDataSource.java source if anybody needs it:
BEGIN source code
// package yourpackage;
import java.io.*;
import javax.activation.*;
public class ByteArrayDataSource implements DataSource {
private byte[] data;// data
private String type;// content-type
/* Create a DataSource from an input stream */
public ByteArrayDataSource(InputStream is, String type) {
this.type = type;
try {
ByteArrayOutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
int ch;
while ((ch = is.read()) != -1)
os.write(ch);
data = os.toByteArray();
} catch (IOException ioex) { }
}
/* Create a DataSource from a byte array */
public ByteArrayDataSource(byte[] data, String type) {
this.data = data;
this.type = type;
}
/* Create a DataSource from a String */
public ByteArrayDataSource(String data, String type) {
try {
// Assumption that the string contains only ASCII
// characters! Otherwise just pass a charset into this
// constructor and use it in getBytes()
this.data = data.getBytes("iso-8859-1");
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException uex) { }
this.type = type;
}
public InputStream getInputStream() throws IOException {
if (data == null)
throw new IOException("no data");
return new ByteArrayInputStream(data);
}
public OutputStream getOutputStream() throws IOException {
throw new IOException("cannot do this");
}
public String getContentType() {
return type;
}
public String getName() {
return "dummy";
}
}
END sourcecode
I've meet the same problem using mail.jar and activation.jar.
This error means that no DataContentHandler class has been found when you want to send a mail.
When you set the content type of your message ( "text/plain" for example), the Transport instance try to found a class that is able to write your message as a text/plain.
One solution is to define a DataContentHandlerFactory that returns the rigth DataContentHandler object according the content type :
For example :
package com.misys.util.mail;
import javax.activation.DataContentHandlerFactory;
import javax.activation.DataContentHandler;
import com.sun.mail.handlers.*;
/**
* Titre :Apollo Mail
* Description :
* @author Nicolas Estienne
* @version 1.0
*/
public class UtlMailContentFactory implements DataContentHandlerFactory {
public UtlMailContentFactory() {
}
public DataContentHandler createDataContentHandler( String parm1 ) {
if( parm1.equalsIgnoreCase( "text/plain") )
return new com.sun.mail.handlers.text_plain();
else if ( parm1.equalsIgnoreCase( "text/html" ) )
return new com.sun.mail.handlers.text_html();
else
return null;
}
}
In the source code of your application, adds the following line :
DataHandler.setDataContentHandlerFactory( new UtlMailContentFactory() );
It works well.

I had the similar problem. But when I upgraded my mail.jar the problem has gone.
weeeeeeeeeeee, thanks a lot, i applied bot solution and it worked (but ONLY with both solucion) thanks a lot!.
