Sending email through JSP

Check the [url=http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/]JavaMail API[/url].

It's relatively easy, here is a basic example:// Get session.

Properties properties = new Properties();

properties.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.example.com");

Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(properties, null);

try {

// Prepare message.

Message message = new MimeMessage(session);

message.setFrom(new InternetAddress("from@example.com"));

message.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress("recipient@example.com"));

message.setSubject("subject");

message.setContent("message", "text/plain");

// Send message.

Transport.send(message);

} catch (MessagingException e) {

// Handle exception.

e.printStackTrace();

}

kiranbedrea at 2007-7-12 3:24:24 >

BlausC,,, u always embarrass new users who asking about something and dont know the clear picture of the subject, so plz plz plz if u cant help them just just just dont post any thing like Search in google , read the API and so on...

this form is to help them ok ?

i provided him a code and this code is working and may clearfy the whole picture for him,, i hope u got what i meant.....

Help them or just dont try to increas the number of ur posts with useless and negative posts...

thank u very much

Eng.Mohammed, the code you posted was good but this advice is not so good.

Quite often the application server will already include these jar files. If it does,

and if you put different versions in your WEB-INF/lib folder, then you can get

strange and confusing errors occurring.

Better advice would be to put those jar files in WEB-INF/lib only if they are

really needed. Try the application without them first.

hi kiranbedre

>hiiiii dude

@OP

What kind of proxy ?

Is it where you are using a server for sending mails via SMTP(operated on PORT 25)...If so,it does requires SMTP authentication

which you can do it by using the example code snippet provided in the below link.

http://www.example-code.com/java/java-smtp-authentication.asp

and If it is a Http Proxy() i don't think it has to do something with SMTP.

and a small advice I'm sorry to say this but your attitude was very wrong to what my fellow poster BALUS had adviced.I understand you might be a newbie and you might require real help but he had a point there where you can very well either learn javamail and activation api which are very nessary for any JAVA EE devoloper.If it was all about getting a quick solution you can very well google it and get a code after trying it out if you had a specific problem people here can certainly help you and

i'm sure Mr.Mohammed is no god even he might have either used some source / book / api documentation to provide the code.if he hadn't i'm sure he could be one among who devoloped activation & javamail api.

I would have been impressed if you could have asked My fellow poster Mr.Mohammed the logic behind the code where he had used very few comments and for a newbie understanding logic behind it would certainly be something similar to learning "Tibetian".

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=com.microsoft%3Aen-us%3AIE-SearchBox&rlz=1I7GFRC&q=sending+mail+java+JSP

therefore i'd like to conclude my discurssion stating whenever you find sometime sit on Activation & javamail apis and analyse different cases.

Just as an example what Mr.Mohammed has tried was making use of SMTP where it is very insecure way of your emails.you might very well send emails using an IMAP store etc & etc.

I'm sure this would do a world of good to you and to the forums where you'd well be in a position to solve problems which are more specfic.

just as an example you'd find thousands of issues at

http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=43 which are specific to javamail

Hope this advice doesn't hurt :)

REGARDS,

RaHuL
