Hello Willie, are you ok?

I'm newbie in the Spring, and i like source-code this example. Do you send me? My address mail is andersonajx at gmail dot com

Thanks a lot.

Hi Anderson. I will shortly post an update (SAM 0.2) to the SAM application in the Downloads section of the site. That update will feature Spring/JavaMail code. The app is simple enough that even Spring newbies should be able to follow it, though let me know if you have questions.

OK, sam-0.2.zip is now available.

Thanks a lot. This was very helpful

Can you please provide the URL to the source?

Can you be more specific about JNDI? How to config mailSession bean?

Is it something like this?

<bean id="mailSession"
    class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
    <property name="jndiName">
        <value>java:comp/env/mail/Session</value>
    </property>
</bean>

@san: Here it is.

@Mr.A: Yeah, either that, or else you can use the jee namespace config as well.

<jee:jndi-lookup id="mailSession"
    jndi-name="mail/Session" resource-ref="true"/>

Don't forget the namespace and schema location declaration at the top of the file if you decide to go with that. Also, you probably already know—but just in case not—you need to configure the resource on your app server (or servlet container) itself too.

If you don't want to mess around with all of that, you can just configure a MailSender instance directly in the app context config. You can use either the JavaMailSenderImpl, or else the CosMailSenderImpl if you're using Spring 2.0. It looks like they dropped support for CosMailSenderImpl in Spring 2.5.

Thanks.

I tried to use JNDI with JBoss, but failed. The error message is javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: mail not bound.

Do you have any suggestion?

@san: You will need to consult the JBoss docs for that.

Great job, shows just how simple and straight forward Spring mail can be. Took about 20 minutes to get my app to work using your tutorial. Thanks for the help.

I am trying to send an email using Spring and GMail. However, the email is not getting sent. I'm not receiving any errors. Below is my setup:

<bean id="mailSender" class="org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailSenderImpl">
    <property name="host" value="smtp.gmail.com"/>
    <property name="port" value="25"/>
    <property name="username" value="MyUsername"/>
    <property name="password" value="MyPassword"/>
    <property name="javaMailProperties">
    <props>
        <prop key="mail.smtp.auth">true</prop>
        <prop key="mail.smtp.starttls.enable">true</prop>
    </props>
    </property>
</bean>

<bean id="userDefServiceTarget"
    class="com.xxx.setups.userdef.business.UserDefMgr" >
    <property name="mailSender"><ref local="mailSender"/></property>
</bean>

In my UserDefMgr class:

public void postMail()
{
    SimpleMailMessage message = new SimpleMailMessage() ;
    message.setSentDate(new Date()) ;
    message.setSubject("Test") ;
    message.setText("This is a test email.") ;
    message.setFrom("test@xx.com") ;
    mailSender.send(message) ;
}

What am I doing wrong? It's going thru the method and has all of the properties when it executes the send method.

Thanks.

@Sonny: I haven't tried sending through a Gmail SMTP server, so I can't speak to the specifics there (such as whether they're using port 25 or some other port, etc.), but I would offer a couple of suggestions:

1. Check out any docs they may have regarding using their SMTP servers, and in particular, the required client-side configuration. From the looks of it they want either port 465 or port 587, not the standard port 25. So that there may be your issue.
2. Use Wireshark to look at the communication between your client and the Gmail SMTP server. Here is an article that explains how to do that:
   
   Wireshark in Fifteen Minutes

This will allow you to see whether you're actually hitting the SMTP server, what error messages it's sending, etc.

(Sorry about the completely gratuitous thumbnail image there; I'm testing out my new comment system.) :-)

Hi Willie,

I found what I need in this article, but still one more info needed. Could you help me on how to configure JavaMail with JNDI in Glassfish? Thanks a lot.

I am not sure about Spring, but I saw this quick code example of sending mail with javamail API Check it out here: http://ehow-java.blogspot.com/2010/01/simple-mail-sender-example-with.html

I opine that you have to be the most professional topic? referring to this topic or just about paper writer performer. And you must be employed by the essay writing service to create such of really good already written essay.
