I saw that. I figured that JavaMail wasn't loading or something. But I've tried it
with the mail.jar file in both the WEB-INF/lib directory and in the classpath. I don't
deal with any hashtable directly. The params that are loading are going into
FormEngineLight. I did a test program to make sure I was loading initParameters
correctly and it worked fine on my local machine at least.
See a later message for the location of my source files.
