Sending email by usiing Seam mail

[kimda]

Hi,

I am using sending email the Seam way and thought it would be easier, but having problem.

Here are what I have done:

I modified mail-service.xml.
...server/default/deploy/mail-service.xml

'
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- $Id: mail-service.xml 62349 2007-04-15 16:48:15Z [e-mail] $ -->
<server>

  <!-- ==================================================================== -->
  <!-- Mail Connection Factory                                              -->
  <!-- ==================================================================== -->

  <mbean code="org.jboss.mail.MailService"
         name="jboss:service=Mail">
    <attribute name="JNDIName">java:/Mail</attribute>
    <attribute name="User">[e-mail]</attribute>
    <attribute name="Password">mypw</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="nobody"/>

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

        <!-- Change to the SMTP gateway server -->
        <property name="mail.smtp.host" value="smtp.gmail.com"/>
       
        <!-- 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="true"/>
      </configuration>
    </attribute>
    <depends>jboss:service=Naming</depends>
  </mbean>

</server>

'

and I added this in WEB-INF/components.xml

<mail:mail-session session-jndi-name="java:/Mail"/>


This is email.xhtml

'
<m:message xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
           xmlns:m="http://jboss.com/products/seam/mail"
           xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html">

    <m:from name="#{emailManagerAction.emailDetails.fromName}" address="#{emailManagerAction.emailDetails.from}" />
    <m:to name="#{emailManagerAction.emailDetails.toName}">#{emailManagerAction.emailDetails.to}</m:to>
    <m:subject>This is test.</m:subject>
   
    <m:body>
        <p>Hi, This is test.</p>
      
        <p>I hope this works.</p>
       
    </m:body>

</m:message>
'

This is EmailManagerAction class:
'
...
...
@Name("emailManagerAction")
public class EmailManagerAction {
     @Logger
     private Log log;
     
    @In(create=true)
    private Renderer renderer;

    @Out
    private EmailDetails emailDetails = new EmailDetails();;

    public EmailDetails getEmailDetails() {
        return emailDetails;
    }

    public void setEmailDetails(EmailDetails emailDetails) {
        this.emailDetails = emailDetails;
    }

    public String test() {
         
        return "/emailSent.xhtml";
    }

    public void sendEmail() {
         log.info("sending email.......");
        emailDetails = new EmailDetails();
        emailDetails.setFrom("[e-mail]");
        emailDetails.setTo("[e-mail]");
        emailDetails.setFromName("Enterprise App (unatended mail box)");
        emailDetails.setToName("Some Person");
        //renderer.render("/email.xhtml");

        try {
            renderer.render("/email.xhtml");
            log.info("sendEmail***********successful*");
            //facesMessages.add("Email sent successfully");
        } catch (Exception e) {
             
             e.printStackTrace();
             log.info("sendEmail************failed");
             //facesMessages.add("Email sending failed: " + e.getMessage());
        }

    }


}
'

I call sendMail() like this:
<rich:menuItem  action="#{emailManagerAction.sendEmail}" value="send email">

This is the error that I get:

What am I doing wrong?

thanks,
Daniel

[kapitanpetko]

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage: you have a class loading problem. Check that you have the promer Java mail jars.

HTH

[kimda]

I have jboss-seam-mail.jar, mail.jar and activation.jar in the java build path. what else do I need?
BTW, I used Seam 2.1.2.

[kapitanpetko]

Build path doesn't matter. What you have deployed does. Check if JBoss already has the Java mail jars (it should). If it does, do not to include them in your war/ear.

[kimda]

Ok, I deleted jboss-seam-mail.jar from lib dir, re-exploded and re-deployed and I don't see that error message again. Thanks for that.

However, an email doesn't get sent to a recipient.

emailDetails.setFrom("[e-mail]");//--> I changed to valid e-mail.
emailDetails.setTo("[e-mail]");

[kimda]

I even changed components.xml like this:

<mail:mail-session host="mail.google.com" port="25" username="[e-mail]" password="mypw" debug="true"/>

It should overwrite  mail-service.xml. right?

But still doesn't work.

[kapitanpetko]

What does your debug log say?

[kimda]

I set mail.debug true, but I don't see anything in console. no debug messages appears.

[kapitanpetko]

Try running with -Dmail.debug=true or attach a debugger if all else fails.

[kimda]

Ok, I got something in the log file, but it is too long.

That's the seam debug log, not too relevant if there are no errors. The Java mail debug log looks something like this:

DEBUG: successfully loaded default providers

[kimda]

Hm...
I text-searched javamail and providers, but didn't find any in the log file.
