Tomcat has this nice feature called Resource mail/Session. Without this
feature, in your code, you get a mail session by:
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "mysmtphost");
Session mailsession = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
With Tomcat's jndi lookup, you can get session by:
Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
Session session = (Session) envCtx.lookup("mail/Session");
But you still need to setup the sending params, such as
Message m = new MimeMessage(session);
m.setFrom("sender");
m.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, "recipient");
m.setSentDate("date");
m.setSubject("subject");
m.setText("text");
Transport.send(m);

Hello.
Sorry for the confusion. What i meant does tomcat have a built in
emailing? As u replied there is .
But is it on by default? when i try running the example inside , it
seems to be a dummy one.
What i am trying to do is to mail a user automatically everytime he
makes a purchase.
inside the default server.xml as shown below, is this the way to enable
emailing or is there more to it?
Thanks..
