JavaMail support on AS7

[gastaldi]

Hello !

I´ve realized that JBoss AS 7 does not support JavaMail yet (AS7-1177 and the release notes confirms this).

I believe it could work as a subsystem, so I decided to start a new mail subsystem and add my initial work on https://github.com/gastaldi/jboss-as/tree/mail/mail

I started my implementation with this reference: https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS7/Example+subsystem

However, I still need to figure out how does JBAS 7 handles injection targets (How to handle @Resource elements so that a javax.mail.Session is injected in that). I also need to figure out how to make the Session JTA-aware.

I´m trying to follow the implementation on other submodules, but no luck yet. I could surely use some help from the JBoss AS7 experts.

As always, of course, any tip is welcome.

Regards,

George Gastaldi

I think Ales is working on JavaMail support too (or some infrastructure to support it), from what I understand of his mail to AS7 dev list http://lists.jboss.org/pipermail/jboss-as7-dev/2011-July/003342.html

Nice, but maybe it would be nice to hear what´s planned for 7.0.1 to know if I am following the right path.

Support for JavaMail should be a straightforward solution I suppose. The only issue I am concerned about is the JTA integration.

Thanks

As far as I know there is no requirement for JavaMail to be transactional, so I'm not sure that you need to be concerned with JTA at all.

That's correct.

Has there been any update on JavaMail support in AS7 in the last month? Thanks.

[gastaldi]

It has been integrated in the master branch and probably wil be available on the next release.

Doesn't seem to be in 7.0.2. Any more recent news?

[jaikiran]

The JIRA https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1177 indicates that it's fixed against 7.1.x (AS7 upstream), so try the latest nightly builds.

[ctomc]

What version are you using? 7.1.x from upstream?

How does you configuration looks like? it seems like you are using SSL

Can you confirm the issue in latest nightly build (you can find it on hudson)

[zenzei2k]

Is there any way to configure properties (mail.smtp.auth, mail.smtp.starttls.enable, mail.from, etc.) like in old jboss?

[ctomc]

There is hendful of attributes you can use configure for javamail.

if you folow the schema you can see all that are currently supported/implemented

https://github.com/jbossas/jboss-as/blob/master/build/src/main/resources/docs/schema/jboss-as-mail.xsd

for instance if you want to configure login to smtp your config should look something like this:

<smtp-server outbound-socket-binding-ref="mail-smtp">

  <login name="username" password="password" />

</smtp-server>

same goes for other server types (imap,pop3)

If there is need for some additional setting to make some untested scenario work, let me know

cheers,

tomaz

Hi tomaz!

I read the xsd, but I ask because I didn't found there how to configure extra options as smtp.starttls or smtp.auth option.

Is somehting like this?

<smtp-server outbound-socket-binding-ref="mail-smtp">

  <login name="username" password="password" />

</smtp-server>

...

<outbound-socket-binding name="mail-smtp">

            <remote-destination host="smtp.gmail.com" port="587" smtp.auth="true" smtp.starttls="enable"/>

</outbound-socket-binding>

Thanks in advance!

[ctomc]

smtp.auth and all authentication props are set when "<login ..." configuration is presented so there is no additional property needed to be set.

"smtp.starttls"  is currently not supported, but as I see from sun's documentation it can be set to "enable" by default as it fallbacks to plain if server does not support it.

If you need this fix, I can prepare it so you can test this.
