Re: how to send an email

Its pretty simple to plug in the JavaMail API - here's a Utility class I call from an Action I use when resetting a User Password: It's quick and dirty but provides an example. The SMTP mail host is read from a properties file in this case, but equally could be passed in from the Appliciation scope. Note the total lack of any kind of useful error handling in this example - I think I better re-write it :-)

public class Emailer
{
 String toAddress;
 String fromAddress;

 String smtpServer;
 String msgSubject;

 public Emailer()

 public Emailer(String from, String to, String subject, String message)
 {
   setFromAddress(from);
   setToAddress(to);
   setMsgSubject(subject);
   setMsgText(message);
 }

public void sendMail() { Session session = null; MimeMessage msg = null; Properties props = new Properties(); if (this.getSmtpServer() == null) { ClassLoader propLoader = this.getClass().getClassLoader(); //Properties file just lives in the src root InputStream is = propLoader.getResourceAsStream("mailer.properties"); try { props.load(is); setSmtpServer((String)props.get("mail.smtp.host")); } catch (IOException iox) { System.out.println("Mail Properties load failed " + iox.toString()); } } else { props.put("mail.smtp.host",this.getSmtpServer()); }

session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props); try { msg = new MimeMessage(session); msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(this.getFromAddress())); msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,new InternetAddress(this.getToAddress())); msg.setSubject(getMsgSubject()); msg.setText(getMsgText()); Transport.send(msg); } catch (MessagingException mex) { mex.printStackTrace(); } }

 // Getters and Setters

 {
   return toAddress;
