i'd recommend going with JavaMail as:
it really is trivial to dispatch email messages
if/when you care about generating multi-part email
messages then JavaMail is ready
JavaMail is a part of any branded J2EE (java 2
Enterprise Edition) system ... it will be there
and it will work
a little bit of background and an interesting, at least
in my book, twist on servlet/jsp/JavaMail:
i used a jhtml page (jsp predecessor) to host
the static elements of an email message
a "mail generator" servlet would set the appropriate
session data the afore mentioned jhtml page
consumed and call out to the jthml page
the result was that i was able to leverage
the jhtml page compilation feature to
readily manage the static elements of an
email message and use the underlying business
accessor logic to pull together dynamic
elements of the email and then stuff the
results through JavaMail as a single body
string
t'was a snap.
hope this helps,
