Don't know, I haven't done this myself.  Your getContentType() looks OK to
me.  I'd have getOutputStream() throw new IOException(), but I doubt it's
even being called.  Can you make your code work with a FileDataSource?  If
so, try creating a subclass of FileDataSource and overriding just
getContentType() with your code.  That would test that potential problem.
Otherwise, I dunno.

 Thanks PC2;
I wrote a class to implement DataSOurce. Now my JavaMail program runs with
this InputStreamDataSource. But the attached document is always empty. I
think I might not have implemented getContentType() and getOutputStream()
correctly. Here is the implementation class:

import javax.activation.*;
import java.io.*;

 public class InputStreamDataSource implements DataSource {
  private InputStream inputStream;
  private OutputStream outputStream;

public InputStreamDataSource(InputStream inputStream) {
    this.inputStream = inputStream
}
public InputStream getInputStream() {
    return inputStream
}
 public String getContentType() {
    return "text/plain";                                    //??
}
public String getName() {
    return "aname";
}
public OutputStream getOutputStream() { //?
    return outputStream;
}
}

In my java mail class I have the following:

  String aString = "a test string is here";    / / send this as attached doc
  byte[] bt = aString.getBytes();
  InputStream is =  new ByteArrayInputStream(bt);
 DataSource source = new InputStreamDataSource(is);
