We should at least tell users to move and not copy them. This is a
common problem. I'll fix the wiki today.
Longer term, I think we should consider not distributing them at all. I
think there were some issues as to whether we could legitimately ship
them anyway. Henri?

I've experienced this same issue. Shouldn't we simply remove these
JARs from WEB-INF/lib? Or are they used elsewhere? We could always
just move the e-mail configuration into roller.properties and not use
JNDI. I prototyped this about a year ago and it seemed to work fine.
Unfortunately, I don't have the code anymore.

My email notifications were not working. Throwing a big bad exception copied below. Turns out you
really do have to move the two jars in step 4.2 as the text says, despite the unix "cp"
command versus "mv" and the lack of a del command in Windows. I lost a bit of time on
this. The error trace complaining of a bad typecast was the clue that two classes of the same name
had been used, one to initialize and the other to run. Deleting the original copies in WEB-INF/lib
and restarting the webapp fixed the issue.
STEP 4.2: Install JavaMail and Activation jars
If you like to use Roller's e-mail notification features, you'll need to add
the JavaMail and Activation
jars to your application server's classpath. Currently, we ship these jars with
Roller, so move them from
the Roller WEB-INF/lib directory and into the Tomcat common/lib directory.
UNIX example
% cp $ROLLER/WEB-INF/lib/mail.jar $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib
% cp $ROLLER/WEB-INF/lib/activation.jar $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib
Windows example
c> cp %ROLLER%\WEB-INF\lib\mail.jar %CATALINA_HOME%\common\lib
C> cp %ROLLER%\WEB-INF\lib\activation.jar %CATALINA_HOME%\common\lib
The big bad exception with the jars left in WEB-INF/lib:
ERROR 2006-03-26 01:04:45,788 StandardWrapperValve:invoke - Servlet.service()
