hello,
I have always the same problem to open a session with Javamail in a Servlet. I use the JBOSS 2.4.4
My web.xml file has this parameter:
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>mail/DefaultMail</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.mail.Session</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
My mail.properties is declared (in dir default) and this is my code part:
try {
Session session = (Session)new InitialContext().lookup("java:comp/env/mail/DefaultMail");
return session;
} catch (javax.naming.NamingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
And this is the error:
[ERROR,Default] javax.naming.NamingException: Could not dereference object. Roo
t exception is
[ERROR,Default] java.lang.NullPointerException
[ERROR,Default] at org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext
.java:418)
[ERROR,Default]
[ERROR,Default] at org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext
.java:457)

.java:333)
[ERROR,Default]
[ERROR,Default] at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.jav
a:350)
What could be the problem.....Thanks
Loic
