Hi,
>From Carlos message I understand that the addres for smtp server is set
as a system property called "mail.host", and to ensure it is set
correctly, you will better call
System.getProperties.put("mail.host" , itsAddress);
The itsAddress string variable is your servlet's responsability to fill
during init()...
Don't know what property is needed for the port to be used, but
hopefully "smtp" port should be OK in most cases.
Bye,
Cezar.
P.S. - someone asked where GSP is - search at http://www.bitmechanic.com
It includes the smtp classes.
Its advantages vs. "mailto:.." URLs are, at first glance:
- They dont use directly sun.stuff.packages, wich everybody tell
not to rely on.
Strange, cos com.bitmechanic.smtp is non-standard to,
but.. you can rely on.
- Have the sources..
- Messages are qeued in a sepparate thread, so the sendMessage() returns
quicly.
