How to configure Mail service

[gerry.matte]

For Jboss 6 and lower one could configure their Mail service using the deploy/mail-service.xml file:

  <!-- ==================================================================== -->

  <!-- Mail Connection Factory                                              -->

  <!-- ==================================================================== -->

  <mbean code="org.jboss.mail.MailService"

         name="jboss:service=Mail">

    <attribute name="JNDIName">java:/Mail</attribute>

    <attribute name="User">NotNeeded4SMTP</attribute>

    <attribute name="Password">xxxxx</attribute>

    <attribute name="Configuration">

      <!-- A test configuration -->

      <configuration>

        <!-- Change to your mail server prototocol -->

        <property name="mail.store.protocol" value="pop3"/>

        <property name="mail.transport.protocol" value="smtp"/>

        <!-- Change to the user who will receive mail  -->

        <property name="mail.user" value="[e-mail]"/>

        <!-- Change to the mail server  -->

        <property name="mail.pop3.host" value="shawmail.cg.shawcable.net"/>

        <!-- Change to the SMTP gateway server -->

        <property name="mail.smtp.host" value="shawmail.cg.shawcable.net"/>

        <!-- The mail server port -->

        <property name="mail.smtp.port" value="25"/>

        <!-- Change to the address mail will be from  -->

        <property name="mail.from" value="[e-mail]"/>

        <!-- Enable debugging output from the javamail classes -->

        <property name="mail.debug" value="false"/>

      </configuration>

    </attribute>

    <depends>jboss:service=Naming</depends>

  </mbean>

How does one configure the equivalent Mail service for JBoss 7 ?

I too have been looking for this and cannot see any documentation or way of configuring this!

Is there any plans to document the solution or implement if is is not?

My only solution for now would be to use something like JavaMailSender in spring, apache commons email or just java mail directly. Is this the only wat to send email in JBoss 7?

You can use plain JavaMail as long as you are using a Jenkins build after 1402: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1278

Does this mean that the ability to configure a javax.mail.Session in the server and look it up via JNDI or inject it as a @Resource is still some way away?

I started implementing something and also discussing about that at http://community.jboss.org/thread/169941
