> Key: GERONIMO-2498
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2498
> Project: Geronimo
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: public(Regular issues)
> Components: mail
> Affects Versions: 1.2
> Reporter: Rick McGuire
> Assigned To: Rick McGuire
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: Wish List
>
>
> Unlike the Sun version of javamail, the Geronimo version is split into a spec
> jar and a provider jar. This has caused numerous problems with users
> attempting to use javamail from their applications. Many base components
> have a javamail spec dependency, which causes the javamail api classes to be
> loaded, but not the provider classes. The first hint of a problem is usually
> a NoSuchProvider exception thrown when trying to create an smtp transport
> instance. This generally takes some time to sort out. And even once the
> dependency is added, there has been at least one occasion where it was
> necessary to change the application to explicitly set the context classloader
> before creating the Transport, thus requiring a change from an application
> that worked on other servers. Again, this was caused by having spec and
> provider jars managed by different classloader instances.
