This, java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: [Ljava.lang.String is killing me a lot. I've suspected so many things about it, but actually is quite different. Its also mentioned in sun's bug database

Here are some of the solutions i've found in different sites;

1.http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6434149

This link recommends the following actions to solve this bug:

1) Add -Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true if you want to use a
library for which you don't have the source with JDK6

2) Change loader.loadClass( name ) to Class.forName( name, false, loader ) if
you own the code.

class org.apache.catalina.loader.WebAppClassLoader
uses this code to load classes:

clazz = loader.loadClass(name);

Can you please change the sections of code where this line is used (1352 and
others) to
clazz =  Class.forName( name, false, loader);

2. http://dev.bostone.us/2009/02/23/javaxfacesfacesexception-javalangclassnotfoundexception-ljavalangstring/

• jdk1.6 unlike 1.5 it will not attempt to load class (java.lang.String) by name by default
• it is easily solvable by locating JVM runtime in Eclipse's preferences (Window->Preferences->Installed JREs), highlighting the entry and adding runtime parameter -Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true

Here is a simple secure MIME message sendMail function;

public boolean sendMail(String to, String subject, String text) {

Properties props = new Properties();

props.put("mail.transport.protocol", "smtp");

props.put("mail.smtp.host", Constants.SMTP_HOST_NAME);

props.put("mail.smtp.port", Constants.SMTP_HOST_PORT);

props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");

Authenticator auth = new SMTPAuthenticator();

Session mailSession = Session.getInstance(props, auth);

try{

Transport transport = mailSession.getTransport();

MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(mailSession);

message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(Constants.SMTP_MESSAGE_SENDER));

message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,

new InternetAddress(to));

message.setSubject(subject);

message.setHeader("MIM9

message.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/html");

message.setContent(text, "text/html");

transport.connect();

transport.sendMessage(message,

message.getRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO));

transport.close();

return true;

} catch (MessagingException messagingException) {

messagingException.printStackTrace();

return false;

} catch (Exception exception){

exception.printStackTrace();

return false;

}

}

private class SMTPAuthenticator extends javax.mail.Authenticator {

public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {

String username = Constants.SMTP_AUTH_USER;

String password = Constants.SMTP_AUTH_PWD;

return new PasswordAuthentication(username, password);

}

}
