Hi all!
I quite new to Geronimo (using 1.1.1) and have some problems geting
mail to work from a geronimo-quartz job.
As I understand it I need to set up a gbean or do some other
configuration for javamail to work (?).
Yes, your application needs to have a dependency on the javamail config
to ensure you're getting all of the correct jar files on your
classpath. The protocol problem you cite below is a symptom of not
having that. Adding the following to your deployment plan should be
sufficient:
<module name="org.apache.geronimo.configs/javamail/1.1.1/car"/>
That should be sufficient to get the classes on your classpath and allow
you do drive everything from your code. Additionally, you can do some
basic session configuration in the plan (as opposed to keeping the
configuration in your code) by using:
<module name="org.apache.geronimo.configs/javamail/1.1.1/car">
<gbean name="SMTPTransport">
<attribute name="host">smtp.myisp.com</attribute>
<attribute name="port">25</attribute>
</gbean>
</module>
Then in your application, create the mail Session instance using
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
Session mailSession = (Session)
ic.lookup("java:comp/env/mail/MailSession");
When you request the transport instance from this session, this will
pick up the SMTP configuration from the plan.

The example i have folowed for the Quartz Scheduler Plugin over at
http://gplugins.sourceforge.net/ have a nice setup including mailing
(in the "Deployable Jobs Example" section) but it dose not go into
details on howto set up mailing (its not the scope of the example).
What do I need to do to get it to work? as it is now i get this exception
MessagingException Unable to locate provider for protocol: smtp
Anny good pointer out there to get mailing working in Geronimo ?
Cheers
Peter
