Sending hyper link as attachment in javamail using smtp

Question

I am using javamail api to send email using smtp.

i have tried a typical example from tutorial point .

But when i try to give a hyper link( https://www.antennahouse.com/XSLsample/pdf/sample-link_1.pdf ) as attachment, i get the following error.

Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: https:\\www.antennahouse.com\\XSLsample\\pdf\\sample-link_1.pdf (The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect)

is there a different method for hyper link as attachment?
