Sending mail from JSP

[gksands]

Hi,

I was wondering if anybody can point to sample code for sending mail from a JSP in JBoss3.0.6.

Any response would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

You could use the mailer taglib from Jakarta Taglibs:
http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/mailer-doc/intro.html

Documentation + Sample Code:

Here is how

String from, to, etc...;
java.util.Properties propz = System.getProperties();

propz.put("mail.smtp.host","yourmailhost.net");
propz.put("mail.smtp.port","25");
Session sess = Session.getDefaultInstance(propz,null);
MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(sess);
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,new InternetAddress(to));
msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.CC,new InternetAddress(cc));
msg.setSubject(subject);
MimeMultipart mp = new MimeMultipart("related");
MimeBodyPart bp = new MimeBodyPart();
bp.setText(body);
mp.addBodyPart(bp);
bp = new MimeBodyPart();
String staturl = ...;
bp.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(new URLDataSource(new java.net.URL(staturl))));

bp.addHeaderLine("Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"");

bp.addHeaderLine("Content-Location: "+staturl);
bp.setFileName("FOO_STATUS.html");


mp.addBodyPart(bp);


msg.setContent(mp);

Hi,

Thank you for the reply.
I have had a problem few days back when tryign to do that.
At the line, MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(sess), it threw an exception saying it cannot find javax.activation.DataSource.
I did put activation.jar in the class and took a print out if the system classpath just before this statement also.

After one whole days struggle I figured out that it is not sufficient if I add it to classpath, I need to put it in jre/lib/ext and then it worked.

I am posting this so that anybody else who might be facing the same problem could use the effort.

the jar located at /usr/local/jboss-3.0.3/server/default/lib/activation.jar
should be just fine.

In which ..../lib/ext did you put the jar in??

[gksands]

No, the server/default/lib did not work.
I had to put it in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext for it to work.
