Why Class not found exception when using J2EE?

843830Aug 23 2005 — edited Nov 3 2008

I thought Java Mail was included with J2EE. If this is the case, why am I getting this exception when trying to send mail?

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/mail/Authenticator
at org.apache.naming.factory.MailSessionFactory.getObjectInstance(MailSessionFactory.java:104)
at org.apache.naming.factory.ResourceFactory.getObjectInstance(ResourceFactory.java:129)

at com.r10.rp.servlets.TestMail.processRequest(TestMail.java:42)

The documentation states that the Activation.jar and mail.jar should not be needed with J2EE. I'm using J2EE 1.4 on Tomcat 5.5.

Thanks.
