java - javax.activation.UnsupportedDataTypeException: no object DCH for MIME type multipart/mixed; boundary

Question

Currently I'm inline of writing a code that will be listening to a directory. when the directory is updated with .apk file, I'll send a mail with this .apk file to a gmail account. I'm using Jnotify and JAVA Mail in my program.

The Error I'm getting is,

javax.mail.MessagingException: IOException while sending message;
  nested exception is:
javax.activation.UnsupportedDataTypeException: no object DCH for MIME type multipart/mixed; boundary="----=_Part_0_145238.1392728439484"

I looked for the solutions given in the stackoverflow for help but none of them where helpful.

Thanks in Advance

public void fileCreated(int wd, String rootPath, String name) {

        System.out.println("Not the APK file");

JavaMail depends on some configuration files to map MIME types to Java classes (e.g., multipart/mixed to javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart). These configuration files are loaded using the ClassLoader for the application. If the ClassLoader doesn't function properly, these configuration files won't be found.

You can simply add below lines .. that solves the issue .

MailcapCommandMap mc = (MailcapCommandMap) CommandMap.getDefaultCommandMap(); 
mc.addMailcap("text/html;; x-java-content-handler=com.sun.mail.handlers.text_html"); 
mc.addMailcap("text/xml;; x-java-content-handler=com.sun.mail.handlers.text_xml"); 
mc.addMailcap("text/plain;; x-java-content-handler=com.sun.mail.handlers.text_plain"); 
mc.addMailcap("multipart/*;; x-java-content-handler=com.sun.mail.handlers.multipart_mixed"); 
mc.addMailcap("message/rfc822;; x-java-content- handler=com.sun.mail.handlers.message_rfc822");
