    whether javamail activation frame work ?

    jredden

      I have a nice set of session and entity beans running under JBoss 3.X that distribute content as long as it is html or text. In addition want to send gifs and jpegs. Plowing thtough posts and documentation it looks like I need to add a JavaMail DataSource to process jpegs and gifs. Has anyone done this with javamail? Did you have to add a mailcap file to a war file? Anybody had experience with this? Any alternatives to javamail? I looked at James and it was of little help.

          It doesn't sound like you need Mail Services just to send some files. It might help you to use mail services (for queueing and so forth, so that you don't need a separate mail server). The JBoss Admin + Development guide shows you how to set up a J2EE JavaMail conifg.

            Problem solved. It took something like this:

            (though a more elegant solution is out there in refactor land ...)
