Hello there, Am using JBoss 5.1.0GA and JDK 1.5.0_19 on OS X Leopard. Created a working [SendMailServlet|http://tinyurl.com/SendMailServletCode]. Have now decided to refactor it into two separate classes (extract out JavaMail code to a separate class and create a ServletController). Am also trying to use JNDI to access the connection properties in the mail-service.xml configuration file residing in JBoss. The Mailer class contains the reusable functionality needed to send an e-mail: | public class Mailer { | private Session mailSession; | | protected void sendMsg(String email, String subject, String body) | throws MessagingException, NamingException { | Properties props = new Properties(); | InitialContext ictx = new InitialContext(props); | Session mailSession = (Session) ictx.lookup("java:/Mail"); | // Session mailSessoin = Session.getDefaultInstance(props); | String username = (String) props.get("mail.smtps.user"); | String password = (String) props.get("mail.smtps.password"); | | MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(mailSession); | message.setSubject(subject); | message.setRecipients(javax.mail.Message.RecipientType.TO, | javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress.parse(email, false)); | message.setText(body); | message.saveChanges(); | | Transport transport = mailSession.getTransport("smtps"); | try { | transport.connect(username, password); | transport.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients()); | Logger.getLogger(this.getClass()).warn("Message sent"); | } | finally { | transport.close(); | } | } | } | The MailController class serves as a standard Java Servlet which invokes the Mailer.class's sendMsg() method: | public class MailController extends HttpServlet { | /** static final HTML setting for content type */ | private static final String HTML = "text/html"; | | myapp/** static final HTML setting for content type */ | private static final String PLAIN = "text/plain"; | | public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) | throws ServletException, IOException { | doPost(request, response); | } | | public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) | throws ServletException, IOException { | response.setContentType(PLAIN); | PrintWriter out = response.getWriter(); | String mailToken = TokenUtil.getEncryptedKey(); | String body = "Hello there, " + "\n\n" | + "Wanna play a game of golf?" + "\n\n" | + "Please confirm: https://localhost:8443/myapp/confirm?token=" | + mailToken + "\n\n" + "-Golf USA"; | Mailer mailer = new Mailer(); | try { | mailer.sendMsg(&quot;recipient(a)gmail.com&quot;, "Golf Invitation!", body); | out.println("Message Sent"); | } | catch (MessagingException e) { | e.printStackTrace(); | } | catch (NamingException e) { | e.printStackTrace(); | } | } | } | Have the mail configuration set under $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/mail-service.xml: | <server> | <mbean code="org.jboss.mail.MailService" name="jboss:service=Mail"> | <attribute name="JNDIName">java:/Mail</attribute> | <attribute name="User">user</attribute> | <attribute name="Password">password</attribute> | <attribute name="Configuration"> | <configuration> | <property name="mail.store.protocol" value="pop3"/> | <property name="mail.transport.protocol" value="smtp"/> | <property name="mail.user" value="user"/> | <property name="mail.pop3.host" value="pop3.gmail.com"/> | <property name="mail.smtp.host" value="smtp.gmail.com"/> | <property name="mail.smtp.port" value="25"/> | <property name="mail.from" value=&quot;user(a)gmail.com&quot;/&gt; | <property name="mail.debug" value="true"/> | </configuration> | </attribute> | <depends>jboss:service=Naming</depends> | </mbean> | </server> | web.xml (Deployment Descriptor): | <servlet> | <servlet-name>MailController</servlet-name> | <servlet-class>com.myapp.MailController</servlet-class> | </servlet> | | <servlet-mapping> | <servlet-name>MailController</servlet-name> | <url-pattern>/sendmail</url-pattern> | </servlet-mapping> | This is what is outputted when I start JBOSS and click point my browser to: https://localhost:8443/myapp/sendmail | [MailService] Mail Service bound to java:/Mail | | [STDOUT] DEBUG: JavaMail version 1.4ea | [STDOUT] DEBUG: java.io.FileNotFoundException: | | /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home/lib/javamail.providers | (No such file or directory) | | [STDOUT] DEBUG: !anyLoaded | [STDOUT] DEBUG: not loading resource: /META-INF/javamail.providers | [STDOUT] DEBUG: successfully loaded resource: /META-INF/javamail.default.providers | | [STDOUT] DEBUG: getProvider() returning | javax.mail.Provider[TRANSPORT,smtps,com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPSSLTransport,Sun Microsystems, Inc] | | [STDOUT] DEBUG SMTP: useEhlo true, useAuth false | [STDOUT] DEBUG SMTP: trying to connect to host "localhost", port 465, isSSL true | | [STDERR] javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: localhost, port: 465;
