I have deployed one of my web application in tomcat on remote machine.

while, before deploying i have implemented Desktop.getDesktop().mail functionality to invoke outlook email in my local system.

I have successfully invoked the outlook email.

The problem is when deployed the same in to remote machine in tomcat and trying to access the webapp from my client machine. I could not able to invoke outlook mail application.

Is there any problem, does any one faced the same problem before?

Because Desktop.getDesktop().mail api is for launching your native desktop application. when you run webapp, there is only javascript/html at client side. your Desktop.getDesktop().mail api will be invoked on your server where webapp is deployed.

If you want to open native email application at your client side, then use javascript. Please see link below.

Automatically open default email client and pre-populate content
