Since Sun has traditionally used Tomcat in it's J2EE RI, it is generally a-bad-idea to mix the j2ee.jar and Tomcat, since they are likely to be using different builds.
The best way to do what you want is to just use the JavaMail and Activation jars (linked to from http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/). That's what I use on my TC 3.3.1 site, and have never had any problems with it. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Hello again, > > I encountered problems trying to implement email service in my webapp. I'd prototyped in a standalone Java program and things ran ok.
