Send mail asynchronous

[bashan]

Hi,

Is there a way sending mail asynchronously in Seam (I am sending mail using Seam components and render method)?
Will there be any problem losing the context (for example, if I put the mail data in Event context) while sending mail asynchronously?

Thanks,
Guy.

Look in the mail example that comes with Seam. There is an async example.

Asynch Main and Mail in general has had a few niggles.
Ensure you use the latest code from the main branch as this is supposed to have fixed a number of things.

Hi,
I just want to know if I should be concerned if mail is sent in async mode to the scopes. For example that EVENT scope won't be available while mail is being sent...

[accless]

In general, the only scopes that are available in any asynchronous call are:

1) buisness process
2) Application-scope

so u have to give all the data u need as a parameter of the async-Method or store the datas and retrieve them later in your async-Method

Hi Rene,

I am trying to understand if this code taken from Seam examples will work, because I will have something pretty similar (this code puts data in the event context, I am trying to understand if the event context will keep existing even request ended):

@Name("asynchronousMailProcessor")
@AutoCreate
public class AsynchronousMailProcessor
{
   @Asynchronous
   public void scheduleSend(@Duration long delay, Person person) {
      try {
         Contexts.getEventContext().set("person", person);
         Renderer.instance().render("/simple.xhtml");
      } catch (Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      }
   }
}

Thanks,
Guy.

It's not the same Event context. The call to scheduleSend will occur in one event context, which end when the response has been sent to the browser.

The actual execution of scheduleSend, which may occur long time into the future, will have  another Event context.
