Hi folks,

regarding the contribution

+) I added the stuff from the old Turbine implementation to setup the email using a Hashtable (but not Criteria since it derives from Hashtable anyway). This allows to create a ready-to-be-sent email using a Hashtable by invoking one factory method on the service. Beware - this is a functionality of the service and not being part of commons-email any longer. So any migration from an older Turbine implementation should be a breeze.

Cheers,

Hi folks,

due to a migration of an ancient Turbine application to CVS HEAD my implementation for creating and sending emails was completely broken. Therefore I migrated my code from my old Turbine service into a Fulcrum service which I would like to contribute. To make a meaningful implementation I patched the unreleased commons-email library. I already sent the diffs to Eric Pugh since he is committer there - I refer to commons-email-rc5.jar then ...

What does the service do

+) provides factory method for creating preconfigured SimpleEmail, MultiPartEmail and HtmlEmail. The created email is fully configured regarding mail server settings, authentication and email headers +) provide diagnostic features such as TransportListeners, mail.debug and dumping of emails +) support for multiple configurations and SMTP servers using a domain-based configuration

Current state

+) I did not do any field testing yet since I just finshed it ... :-)

Cheers,

Siegfried Goeschl

PS: Since Eric mentioned the original Turbine email service - there were a few classes but AFAIK they did not constitute a full-blown Turbine service. Did I miss something here?!

Sounds great.. How close is it to the original Turbine email service? It's a funny path.. Commons-email came from Turbine, and now, with a fulcrum component, goes back to Turbine land!

Hi Eric,

I'm working on the trunk version of SVN and applied my changes yesterday night. But I would like to finish my fulcrum-commonsemail-service together with the code changes to see if everything works. I send you the patches asap. If you think it is a resonable addition to Fulcrum I contribute it .... :-)

Siegfried,

Are you talking about the latest commons-email, or the old one that is used in Turbine? I've been trying to release the 1.0 version for the past couple months, but haven't due to a stack of different issues been able to do it.

The changes you make seem reasonable, I just want you to make sure you are looking at CVS HEAD! I am going to release 1.0 the way it is, but I'd be happy to take your patch and do a 1.0.1 or something pretty quickly..

Hi Eric,

long story - since I'm in the middle of migrating my old Turbine application to CVS HEAD I stumbled across commons-email and I'm currently migrating a very old Turbine service for sending emails to use commons-email to a Fulcrum service and having a few problems, and .....

Since the mailing list does not respond to my subscription and you are the main committer .... I need to patch the existing code to fulfill some basic requirements

1) having a few getters for basic properties of EMail would be nice (subject, fromAddress) to enable some diagnostic ouptut if anything goes wrong while creating the MimeMessage. Having said that a toString() implementation would not be bad either.

2) more significant I need to seperate the creation of the underlying MimeMessage from actually sending it, e.g. I do a lot of stuff with SMIME signature where you build the MimeMessage and then sign it. Building the MimeMessage (the hard part) is already done by commons-email but it would be useful to intercept the actual sending to provide more flexibility. I think of

public final MimeMessage getMimeMessage();
public void buildMimeMessage() throws EmailException;
public void sendMimeMessage() throws EmailException;

public void send() throws EmailException
{
   this.buildMimeMessage();
   // now it is possible to call getMimeMessage()
   this.sendMimeMessage();
}

3) access to the MimeMessage allows to retrieve the message id - the only way to keep track of message sent by the SMPT server

I hope my comments make sense - could you forward the message to the mailing list ... as always I have little time to wait for the outcome of lenghty discussion so I start doing the work tommorrow ... :-)

Cheers,

Siegfried Goeschl
