emailing IFS attachments programmatically

A question for Domino Java programmers here:

I am trying to create a stand alone Java program that will grab a file off
the IFS, attach it to a document and email that document.  I have an agent
running on my client that will do just that and it works great.  Now I'm
trying to take that same code and logic and create a Java program that will
run on the iSeries.  It seems that the embedObject method isn't supported
on the iSeries however -- from the help file:  "Note  Embedded objects and
object links are not supported for OS/2, UNIX, and the Macintosh. File
attachments are."  From searching on File Attachments in the help file, I
can't find anything about creating file attachments, only extracting file
attachments.

Any other suggestions ?

Here's the code that works on my client and doesn't work when run on the
iSeries:
body.embedObject(EmbeddedObject.EMBED_ATTACHMENT, null, "\\\\url of
iSeries\\home\\classpath.txt", "classpath.txt");

Thanks,
Bob
