mail service

[sysuser1]

Hello,
Can anyone explain or give me an exemple on how to use the mail service (I'm using jboss 3.0.7)
Thanks.

In your code you can do something like this ...

Context initial=new InitialContext();
javax.mail.Session mail_session=(javax.mail.Session)initial.lookup("java:/comp/env/TheMailSession");

javax.mail.Message msg=new MimeMessage(mail_session);
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress("your_email_address"));
msg.setHeader("X-Mailer","Your_App_Name");

InternetAddress[] addrs=new InternetAddress[1];
addrs[0] = new InternetAddress(recipient_email);
msg.setRecipients(javax.mail.Message.RecipientType.TO,addrs);
msg.setSubject(subject);
msg.setSentDate(new java.util.Date());

Multipart mp=new MimeMultipart();
MimeBodyPart part=null;
part = new MimeBodyPart();
part.setText(text);
mp.addBodyPart(part);
msg.setContent(mp);

Transport.send(msg);


and then in the deployment descriptors add a block like this for the bean that uses the mail facilities in ejb-jar.xml
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>TheMailSession</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.mail.Session</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>

and in jboss.cmp, you add

<resource-managers>
<resource-manager res-class="javax.mail.Session">
<res-name>TheMailSession</res-name>
<res-jndi-name>java:Mail</res-jndi-name>
</resource-manager>
</resource-managers>

Simple! PS Dont forget to edit $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/mail-service.xml and put in the outgoing mail server name etc.

When he says jboss.cmp I suppose it refers to META-INF/jboss.xml, I say it because I'm trying what the missage says and I've lost some time finding that file.

Doing what is said here, I get an error NameNotFoundException: TheMailSession not found.

Any Idea? I'm using jboss 3.2.1 - tomcat 4.1.24

Thanks in advanced!
