MailSession can't be set to use auth in one environment and not in another -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-4176 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-4176 Project: Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Affects Versions: 2.1.1.GA Reporter: Devon Hillard Priority: Minor (Summary could be worded better) If you define MailSession in components.xml like this: <mail:mail-session host="@mailhost@" port="@mailport@" username="@mailusername@" password="@mailpassword@" /> And set the mailusername and mailpassword in the environment specific components.properties files, you can't use a mail server without authentication in any environment. Putting this in a components.properties: mailusername= seems to set an empty string into the property, which passes the "(getUsername() != null" test in MailSession.java used to determine if it should authenticate with the mail server. Therefore it tries to authenticate with empty username and password, which typically fails on a system that doesn't not require auth for outgoing mail (from internal servers for instance). In this scenario our dev environment needs to use a mail server that does require auth, but in production, it needs to use a mail server without auth. Currently this is requiring us to manually change the components.xml to have: <mail:mail-session host="@mailhost@" port="@mailport@" /> in the production ear. A simple fix would be to change the logic in MailSession to do: getUsername() != null && getUsername().trim().length() > 0 instead of the current null check. The relevant lines to change are 105, 109, and 152. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
