Cannot attach Contact as ItemAttachment to an email

[JohnMAustin78]

Folks, The following code raises an internal server exception. The item object in the 2nd argument of my method actually cast from a valid Contact object. The client is verified to be valid, the mail Id came from a new message I created and did not send yet. The message sits in the user's draft mail message folder.

I get the following internal server (501) error:

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object”

/**
 * Gets a message out of the user's draft folder by id and adds a text file attachment
 *
 * @param mailId  The id of the draft email that will get the attachment
 * @param itemToAttach The mail message to attach
 * @return Boolean. The result of the operation. True if success
 * @version 1.0
 */
public Boolean addItemAttachment(
        String mailId
        , Item itemToAttach) throws ExecutionException, InterruptedException {
    ItemAttachment itemAttachment = new ItemAttachment();
    itemAttachment.setName(itemToAttach.getClass().getName());
    itemAttachment.setItem(itemToAttach);
    itemAttachment.setContentType(itemToAttach.getClass().getName());
    itemAttachment.setIsInline(false);
    itemAttachment.setId(itemToAttach.getId());
    mMailClient
            .getMe()
            .getMessages()
            .getById(mailId)
            .getAttachments()
            .add(itemAttachment)
            .get();
    return true;
}

Hi John. If you try to do the same thing using a REST client like Fiddler, can you reproduce the behavior?

Good question. I will give that a try.

Hi Marcos,

I've tried the request using the Charles Proxy tool. I get the same error that I got in the response to the call using the client library.

Request The following is the request JSON payload when a contact is attached:

I am having an issue with null references for attachments as well. Whenever I try to do a .getAttachments() on a Message object, I get null returned, despite the .getHasAttachments() flag being set to true.
