I was also wondering why the SMTPTargetFactory simply does not allow you

be easy to completely self contain the configuration information for
sending the

I am shooting in the dark, but perhaps it can give you some ideas;
JavaMail looks for a "mail.properties" resource, in which most stuff can be 
configured. Perhaps it is enough to make it available in the classloader.
 

Thanks,  The problem is that the SMTPTargetFactory is looking for a 
javax.mail.Session
instance on the Context.   When normally working with JavaMail, I 
understand how this
Session object is normally created.   In this case however, I am just 
getting stuck trying
to figure out how that Session object is supposed to find its way into 
the Context.

To create the Session instance, you just do this:
           // Setup the session properties for the message.
           Properties sessionProperties = new Properties();
           sessionProperties.put( "mail.smtp.host", m_smtpHost );
           sessionProperties.put( "mail.smtp.port", Integer.toString( 
m_smtpPort ) );
          
           // Get session
           Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance( 
sessionProperties, null );

The mail.properties file could be a good way to specify the host/port of 
the SMTP
server as well.  But the current implementation is still looking for its 
own Session.

Once option is to enhance this Factory, but I want to make sure I 
understand why it
is written the way it is and how it was designed to be used before 
playing around
with it.

Cheers,
Leif
