Re: JavaMail Redux

[Neal Sanche]

Sorry David, I must be extra dense today...

Here's what I understand of the way this works so far:
I have to start a GBean, and I have to make a resource-ref in my Session 
bean to use it. But I think I'm missing a step. How does Geronimo know 
which GBean represents a certain resource? Do I also have to make a 
gbean-ref in my open-ejb.xml deployment plan to make the 'link' somehow? 
I'm quite confused about this whole area right now, I'm afraid. Is there 
anyone on the list who's used JavaMail who can point me to example 
source, or docs? Even a similar situation where a GBean is linked to an 
SLSB resource-ref would be excellent.

Thanks.

I'm not the expert on javamail, but...

I think you need a MailGBean to be the resource-ref target:

    <gbean name="mail/MailSession"  
class="org.apache.geronimo.mail.MailGBean"/>

I'm not exactly sure what you need to configure so the mail gbean 
hooks  up to the smtp protocol bean you already have.

Hope this points you a useful direction :-)

Hi Guys,

A long while ago, I asked about getting JavaMail working in 
Geronimo.  Here's what I have done, and the current result:

My geronimo-application.xml:

<DEFANGED_application
      xmlns="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/application";
      configId="org/acme/mailverifier">
      <gbean name="mail/MailSession"
   class="org.apache.geronimo.mail.SMTPTransportGBean">
     <attribute name="host">mail.example.com</attribute>
 </gbean>

</application>

A resource-ref in a session bean that looks like:

        <resource-ref >
           <description><![CDATA[JavaMail Resource]]></description>
           <res-ref-name>mail/MailSession</res-ref-name>
           <res-type>javax.mail.Session</res-type>
           <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
           <res-sharing-scope>Shareable</res-sharing-scope>
        </resource-ref>

I've edited the j2ee-server-plan.xml to add:

   <dependency>
     <uri>javamail/jars/activation.jar</uri>
   </dependency>
   <dependency>
     <uri>javamail/jars/mail.jar</uri>
   </dependency>

   <dependency>
     <uri>geronimo/jars/geronimo-mail-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar</uri>
   </dependency>

But I get the following error:

18:08:16,044 ERROR [Deployer] Deployment failed due to
org.apache.geronimo.gbean.InvalidConfigurationException: Could not

If I change my geronimo-application.xml to:

<DEFANGED_application
      xmlns="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/application";
      configId="org/acme/PhoneBook">

   <dependency>
       <uri>geronimo/jars/geronimo-mail-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar</uri>
   </dependency>        <module>
       <connector>tranql-connector-1.0-SNAPSHOT.rar</connector>
       <alt-dd>mysql-plan.xml</alt-dd>
   </module>
     <gbean name="mail/MailSession"
     class="org.apache.geronimo.mail.SMTPTransportGBean">
       <attribute name="host">10.0.0.1</attribute>
       <attribute name="port">25</attribute>
   </gbean>
</application>

That error goes away, but I'm left with:

Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.
