if(!"".equals(socketFactoryClass))
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class",socketFactoryClass);
if(!"".equals(fallback))
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback", fallback);
try
{
//Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props,
new javax.mail.Authenticator()
{
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()
{ return new PasswordAuthentication("acv.ddg#gmail.com","070122sd3183"); }
});
session.setDebug(debug);
MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);
msg.setText(text);
msg.setSubject(subject);
//attachment start
// create the message part
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
MimeBodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
DataSource source =
new FileDataSource(attachmentPath);
messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(
new DataHandler(source));
messageBodyPart.setFileName(attachmentName);
multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
// attachment ends
// Put parts in message
msg.setContent(multipart);
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(userName));
for(int i=0;i<to.length;i++){
msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(to[i]));
}
for(int i=0;i<cc.length;i++){
msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.CC, new InternetAddress(cc[i]));
}
for(int i=0;i<bcc.length;i++){
msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.BCC, new InternetAddress(bcc[i]));
}
msg.saveChanges();
Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
transport.connect(host, userName, passWord);
transport.sendMessage(msg, msg.getAllRecipients());
transport.close();
return true;
}
catch (Exception mex)
{
mex.printStackTrace();
return false;
}
}
}
Please let us know will this code work or is there any better way of doing this?
Thanks,

Your MimeMessage can either have text set via setText() or a multipart-body.
Since your use atteachments you have to use multipart. To add some plain text to the message create another MimeBodyPart and add it as the first to your Multipart:
....
Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
MimeBodyPart textPart = new MimeBodyPart();
textPart.setText(text);
mmp.addBodyPart(textPart);
MimeBodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
....
