Mailapi.jar not working correctly

[DirkDubois]

Hello,

I have a custom Author Action implemented in a AuthorOperation Java class. I need it to send an email. I wrote the following class to send an email

Code: Select all

public class SendEmail {

	public static void send(String data){

		// Recipient's email ID needs to be mentioned.

	      String to = "ddubois1@matrox.com";



	      // Sender's email ID needs to be mentioned

	      String from = "techwriting@matrox.com";



	      // Assuming you are sending email from localhost

	      String host = "mailbox.matrox.com";



	      // Get system properties

	      Properties properties = System.getProperties();



	      // Setup mail server

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



	      // Get the default Session object.

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



	      try{

	         // Create a default MimeMessage object.

	    	  MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);



	         // Set From: header field of the header.

	         message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));



	         // Set To: header field of the header.

	         message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,

	                                  new InternetAddress(to));



	         // Set Subject: header field

	         message.setSubject("This is the Subject Line!");



	         // Now set the actual message

	         message.setText(data);



	         // Send message

	         Transport.send(message);

	         

	      }catch (MessagingException mex) {

	         mex.printStackTrace();

	      }

	}

}

However, when I debug my code from Eclipse in oxygen, once I reach the Transport.send() function, I always get this error:

Code: Select all

I understand that this class needs to be apart of my class path etc, but seeing as it is a library loaded by oxygen, I would assume there is no extra work for me to do. In my C# code I use the same mailbox to send SMTP email with no user name or authorization. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dirk

Dear Dirk,

An Oxygen installation only contains the mailapi.jar library in its libraries list (without any mail implementation).

So you should try to download the smtp.jar library from here:

https://java.net/projects/javamail/page ... il_Release

place it somewhere in your framework folder then edit your document type association and in the Classpath list add a reference to this additional library.

Regards,
Radu

Thank you for the quick reply.

I added smtp.jar to the class path of the framework I am deploying, but when debugging the oxygen process, I still get the same error. Does this jar need to be integrated into the jar I provide oxygen with my custom author actions? Thanks for all your help.

Hi Dirk,

As long as the JAR library is included in the Classpath list, it should be available for use in Author custom operations.
You say you get this error when debugging, do you get the same problem when running Oxygen with the framework deployed in it?

Radu

Hi Radu,

Thank you for the help I was able to resolve the problem. When I added both smtp-1.5.3.jar and mailapi-1.5.3.jar to the classpath of the framework before my CustomAuthorActions.jar, and I deployed the compiled version everything worked. For debugging, the solution was to add these same JARs to the class path of the debug configuration. This correctly resolved the issue. Thank you for all your help.

Thanks,
Dirk
