JavaMail JNDI Problem

[wcydaip]

I am trying to setup the example jar from javamail1.4 within JBoss, but, I keep having problems linking my war to the appropriate JNDI value or setting the JNDI resource explicitly. I'm using JBoss4.0.3RC1

The following is the error:

 ... 62 more
10:39:12,031 ERROR [MainDeployer] Could not start deployment: file:/C:/jboss-4.0
.3SP1-FRESH/server/default/deploy/javamail.war
org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: Error during deploy; - nested throwabl
e: (javax.naming.NamingException: resource-ref: MySession has no valid JNDI bind
ing. Check the jboss-web/resource-ref.)

I'm not sure what is meant by the jboss-web/resource-ref. I've taken a guess that it means a jboss-web.xml file, but, then again, I'm not sure which jboss-web.xml file I'm supposed edit.

web.xml

 <resource-ref>
 <res-ref-name>MySession</res-ref-name>
 <res-type>javax.mail.Session</res-type>
 <jndi-name>java:/NetaMail</jndi-name>
 <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
 </resource-ref>

default/deploy/mail-service.xml

 <mbean code="org.jboss.mail.MailService"
 name="jboss:service=Mail">
 <attribute name="JNDIName">java:/NetaMail</attribute>
 <attribute name="User">###</attribute>
 <attribute name="Password">###</attribute>
 <attribute name="Configuration">
 <!-- Test -->
 <configuration>
 <!-- Change to your mail server prototocol -->
 <property name="mail.store.protocol" value="imap"/>
 <property name="mail.transport.protocol" value="smtp"/>

 <!-- Change to the user who will receive mail -->
 <property name="mail.user" value="###"/>

 <!-- Change to the mail server -->
 <property name="mail.pop3.host" value="###"/>

 <!-- Change to the SMTP gateway server -->
 <property name="mail.smtp.host" value="###"/>

 <!-- Change to the address mail will be from -->
 <property name="mail.from" value="neta@###.com"/>

 <!-- Enable debugging output from the javamail classes -->
 <property name="mail.debug" value="true"/>
 </configuration>
 <depends>jboss:service=Naming</depends>
 </attribute>
 </mbean>

and I tried the server/default/deploy/jmx-console.war/WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml
but to no avail:

 <resource-ref>
 <res-ref-name>MySession</res-ref-name>
 <res-type>javax.mail.Session</res-type>
 <jndi-name>java:/NetaMail</jndi-name>
 <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
 </resource-ref>

Can anyone tell me where I'm messing up?

Thanks.

Well a little more snooping payed off....

I noticed on startup the jmx console deployment was throwing an error about finding my entry into the jboss-web.xml and not finding it in the web.xml. So that got me thinking that perhaps this war file needs a jboss-web.xml and indeed it did.

WEB-INF
 |- web.xml
 |- jboss-web.xml

Both contain:

<resource-ref>
 <res-ref-name>java:NetaMail</res-ref-name>
 <res-type>javax.mail.Session</res-type>
 <jndi-name>java:/NetaMail</jndi-name>
 <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
 </resource-ref>

And alls well that ends well...

Thanks
