I'm trying to make an application send an email using JavaMail.
The code sending the mail looks like this:
/**
* This method creates an email message and sends it using the
* J2EE mail services
* @param mailContent contains the message contents to send
*/
public void createAndSendMail(String emailAddress, String subject,
String mailContent, Locale locale) throws MailerException {
try {
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
Session session = (Session) ic.lookup(JNDINames.MAIL_SESSION);
Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
msg.setFrom();
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
InternetAddress.parse(emailAddress, false));
msg.setSubject(subject);
String contentType = "text/html";
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(mailContent);
msg.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(
new ByteArrayDataSource(sb.toString(),
contentType)));
msg.setHeader("X-Mailer", "JavaMailer");
msg.setSentDate(new Date());
Transport.send(msg);
The ejb-jar for the bean in which the code is executed features this
snippet:
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>mail/MailSession</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.mail.Session</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
<res-sharing-scope>Shareable</res-sharing-scope>
</resource-ref>
The geronimo plan has the following to match it:
<gbean name="mail/MailSession"
class="org.apache.geronimo.mail.MailGBean" />
<gbean name="mail/MailSession"
class="org.apache.geronimo.mail.SMTPTransportGBean">
<attribute name="host">my.valid.smtphost</attribute>
<attribute name="port">25</attribute>
</gbean>
This is the behaviour I can observe using a debugger:
- A SMTPTransportGBean is instantiated with the correct host parameter
- The code runs fine, and no exception is thrown from
the call to Transport.send
- The Session object looked up in the InitialContext doesn't have
any properties; I was expection it to have at least a "host"
property. I don't know a lot about JavaMail, so it might be that
the session object is fine.
- I can't find anything in the log which seems related, neither at
server startup time or at the time the sending code is executed
- Neither the constructor nor the SendMessage method in
org.apache.geronimo.javamail.transport.smtp.SMTPTransport is
called
- Using localhost for smtp host and a logging tcp proxy, it seems
that no traffic is generated for the smtp host port 25.
Do I need som additional "wiring" to make smtp sending work? I can see
that the javamail-transport module has a javamail.default.providers file
instruction Javamail to use SMTPTransport for smtp. Do I need to do
anything to facilitate this at runtime?
