ClassCastException
This works on my local machine (using Tomcat 5 and javamail 1.4) but when I try it on my Linux machine (Fedora - still using tomcat 5 and javamail 1.4) I get the following exception:
java.lang.ClassCastException: gnu.mail.handler.TextPlain cannot be cast to javax.activation.DataContentHandler
javax.activation.MailcapCommandMap.createDataContentHandler(MailcapCommandMap.java:496)
javax.activation.DataHandler.getDataContentHandler(DataHandler.java:568)

javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(tomcat5-servlet-2.4-api-5.5.23.jar.so)
Here is the 'offending' code:
try{
Properties props =new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host",SOME MAIL SERVER);
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props,null);
Message msg =new MimeMessage(session);
InternetAddress addressFrom =new InternetAddress(from);
msg.setFrom(addressFrom);
InternetAddress[] addressTo =new InternetAddress[recipients.length];
for (int i = 0; i < recipients.length; i++)
{
addressTo[i] =new InternetAddress(recipients[i]);
}
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, addressTo);msg.addHeader("MyHeaderName","myHeaderValue");
msg.setSubject(subject);
msg.setContent(message,"text/plain");
Transport.send(msg);
returntrue;
}
catch(MessagingException me)
{
returnfalse;
}
it fails at 'Transport.send(msg);'
Obviously I'm a noob with javamail and I really don't understand why it works on my local machine but not on the server.
Anyway help is greatly appreciated.
