Excellent, we must update the web pages with all that information.
BTW I am installing a big honking machine from scratch (now that I am
scarred with security) and will be hosting that at want java pretty soon.
Excellent work Simone, good for you :)

|Subject: [jBoss-User] JavaMail support in JBoss !
|
|
|Hello all,
|
|JBoss has now JavaMail 1.2 support !
|
|Security guys, see bullet 1a, please.
|
|Legal stuff: AFAIK, mail.jar from Sun is freely redistributable, so there
|should be no restriction to use it in JBoss or in your client applications.
|
|HowTo:
|
|1) edit jboss.jcml and find Mail Service MBean;
|
|a) replace User and Password attributes values with the user name and
|password used to connect to your mail server (Security guys: I did not find
|a clean solution for the password being stored in clear here. Any hint ?)
|b) specify a file with the mail settings, default is "mail.properties"
|c) specify a JNDI name for your mail session, that will be used in
|<res-jndi-name> tag in jboss.xml, bullet 4 (default is "Mail")
|
|2) go in the configuration directory of JBoss and set the mail
|properties in
|the file given in bullet 1b (see JavaMail specification for details).
|
|3) in your EJB, specify a <resource-ref> like this:
|
|<ejb-jar>
| <enterprise-beans>
| ...
| <session>
| <ejb-name>Mailer</ejb-name>
| <home>some.package.MailerHome</home>
| <remote>some.package.Mailer</remote>
| <ejb-class>some.package.MailerEJB</ejb-class>
| <session-type>Stateless</session-type>
| <transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>
| <resource-ref>
| <res-ref-name>mail/MyMail</res-ref-name>
| <res-type>javax.mail.Session</res-type>
| <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
| </resource-ref>
| </session>
| ...
| </enterprise-beans>
|</ejb-jar>
|
|4) in jboss.xml, specify a <resource-manager> like this:
|
|<jboss>
| ...
| <resource-managers>
| <resource-manager>
| <res-name>mail/MyMail</res-name>
| <res-jndi-name>Mail</res-jndi-name>
| </resource-manager>
| </resource-managers>
|</jboss>
|
|5) from your EJB, lookup the mail session like this:
|
|InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
|Object ref = ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/mail/MyMail");
|Session session = (Session)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ref, Session.class);
|
|then create a MimeMessage, set its properties and send it !
|For example:
|
|MimeMessage m = new MimeMessage(session);
|m.setFrom();
|Address[] to = new InternetAddress[] {new
|InternetAddress("[EMAIL PROTECTED]")};
|m.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, to);
|m.setSubject("JavaMail Test");
|m.setSentDate(new Date());
|m.setContent("Test from inside EJB Using JBoss", "text/plain");
|Transport.send(m);
|
|I tried it using Yahoo, where I have an account, and it worked just fine.
|(
|Yahoo requires to be POP autenticated before using SMTP, but this is easily
|done using:
|Store s = session.getStore();
|s.connect(); // POP authentication
|Transport.send(m);
|)
|
|That's it !
|
