Java Mail using JSP

[ak1dnar]

I am not getting any mail from this Script. What is wrong with the coding.Page is working perfectly with my SMTP provider and its giving the output in the page. but no m ail in my mail box.

<%@ page import="sun.net.smtp.SmtpClient, java.io.*" %>
<%
String from="[e-mail]";
String to="[e-mail]";
try
{
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("MY.SMTP.HERE");
client.from(from);
client.to(to);
PrintStream message = client.startMessage();
out.println("To: " + to+"<BR>");
out.println("Subject: Sending email from JSP!<BR>");
out.println("This was sent from a JSP page!<BR>");
client.closeServer();
}
catch (IOException e)
{
out.println("ERROR SENDING EMAIL:"+e);
}
%>

I don't understand what you're trying to do there. What is an SMTPClient?
This is how I send a mail message:

import java.util.Properties;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
 
public class MailExample {
  public static void main (String args[]) throws Exception {
    String host = "smtp.xxxxx.xxx";
    String to = "[e-mail]";
    String from = "[e-mail]";
 
    // Get system properties
    Properties props = System.getProperties();
 
    // Setup mail server
    props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
 
    // Get session
    Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
 
    session.setDebug(true);
    // Define message
    MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
 
    // Set the from address
    message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
 
    // Set the to address
    message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, 
      new InternetAddress(to));
 
    // Set the subject
    message.setSubject("Hello JavaMail");
 
    // Set the content
    message.setText("Welcome to JavaMail");
 
    // Send message
    Transport.send(message);
  }
}

kind regards,

Don't just copy and paste code and hope for the best: that article didn't mention
the SmtpClient (at least not on the same page). You either have to read the
entire article or stick with the javax.mail.* classes. My little example uses just
those. Programmers who simply copy and paste stuff without understanding
*what* they've just copied and pasted are never, I repeat, never good programmers.

First you have to read and understand, then you experiment and only then you
try to come up with something useful; there is no other way, believe me.

kind regards,

I needed to use pure JSP mail Script. Not a class file like yours.
Then i have to go for servlets.
Any way i made it.

<%@ page import="javax.mail.*, javax.mail.internet.*,java.util.*;" %>
<%
try
{
InternetAddress toAddress = new InternetAddress("To_mail_addres_here");
InternetAddress fromAddress = new InternetAddress("From_mail_addres_here");
Properties prp = new Properties();
prp.put("mail.smtp.host", "some.smtp.here");
Session mailsession = Session.getDefaultInstance(prp, null);
Message msg = new MimeMessage(mailsession);
msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, toAddress);
msg.setSubject("HTML Mail");
msg.setFrom(fromAddress);
msg.setContent("<B>HTML Message</B>","text/html");
Transport.send(msg);
%>
<b>An e-mail has been sent.</b>
<%
}
catch (Exception e)
{ 
e.printStackTrace();
}
%>

Good; notice that my class was just a MailExample class and everything was
done from the static main() method. Not much of a class and very easy to stick
in main's code elsewhere ;-)

Good you made it; best of luck.
