I wrote an incredibly simple component that I'm using on an internal
website. The google-code project is here:
http://code.google.com/p/israfil-mail-service/
The usage is documented in the javadoc comments. I'll put up some
better usage docs later. It's BSD licensed so it's unrestricted.
I use this in my maven pom (or you can download the jars from
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/net/israfil/services/mail/)
<dependency>
<groupId>net.israfil.services.mail</groupId>
<artifactId>israfil-mail-service-javamail</
artifactId>
<version>0.6</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>net.israfil.services.mail</groupId>
<artifactId>israfil-mail-service-api</
artifactId>
<version>0.6</version>
</dependency>
and then I add this to my AppModule (to get a javax.mail session from
jetty - you have to declare it in jetty.xml, but there's a default one
there you can modify.)
@EagerLoad
public static javax.mail.Session buildJavaMailSession() throws
NamingException {
InitialContext cxt = new InitialContext();
javax.mail.Session session = (javax.mail.Session)
cxt.lookup( "java:comp/env/mail/main/session" );
if ( session == null ) {
throw new NamingException("javax.mail.Session not found!");
}
return session;
}
Since the module I include in the javamail service implementation has
metadata for tapestry-ioc autoloading then if its in the classpath
it's loaded. If you're using this all from eclipse or another IDE,
you have to lauch with -
Dtapestry
.modules
=net.israfil.service.mail.transport.javamail.JavaMailTransportModule.
From here you can just inject the service like this in any component
or service in Tapestry:
@Inject
private MailService mailService;
Then you just use the service. Here's a simple example I use for
internal notification.
private MailMessage
prepareInternalNotificationMail(Registration registration,String
address) {
SMTPMessage message = new SMTPMessage();
message.setFromAddress(new SMTPAddress("Registration
System","train...@israfil.net"));
message.addAddress(SMTPHeaderTypes.To,new
SMTPAddress(address));
message.setSubject(String.format("Registration for %s
%s (%s: %s)",
registration.getFirstName(),
registration.getLastName(),
registration.getEvent().getCourse().getCode(),
registration.getEvent().getStartDate()
));
// Here I set up a string to add to the body.
String body = String.format(
"%s %s has regisered for an %s class on %s\n\n
%s",
registration.getFirstName(),
registration.getLastName(),
registration.getEvent().getCourse().getCode(),
registration.getEvent().getStartDate(),
registration.getPlainText()
);
message.setBody(new PlaintextMessageBody(body));
return message;
}
which I call from:
...
mailService.send(prepareInternalNotificationMail(registration,
registrationNotificationEmail);
...
It's pretty much as simple as that. The annoying part is the setup,
but this is the same for nearly any service/component you want to
stage with Dependency Injection.
If you bother using it, and have any questions, shoot me an e-mail.
There's no compelling advantage of mine over others necessarily,
except that it's small, doesn't have a lot of bloat, and the API
allows for alternate mail transport back-ends, though none are
implemented at the moment.
cheers,
Christian.

mailer . I am
new to Tapestry and I have been trying some of their components. I
decided
to try the mailer today but I don't seem to know how to get it to
work. I
don't seem to know how to Inject the Service into my pages.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
How about what people use to mail? Does everyone basically use the
Apache
Commons EMail?
