Hello, I have a TCP/IP connection problem related to the network addresses. Here's the environment: OS: Win95 Apache Web Server: ver 1.3.4 Apache JServ: 1.0.b2 (latest version) The properties files are setup alright - tested several servlets and stuff works fine. I have a mail servlet that uses the JavaMail 1.1.1 API to send mails using the javax.mail.Transport class. The Transport class throws an exception when trying to connect to an SMTP server (details follow). The exception is of type: java.net.UnknownHost. The servlet works fine if used as a standalone or in a 'servletrunner' environment. I was wondering if the way JServ engine uses classloaders has any direct effect in 'IP address lookup' through DNS. A DNS is installed on the network I am working on. Exception trace: javax.mail.SendFailedException: Sending failed; nested exception is: javax.mail.MessagingException: Unknown SMTP host: smtp.XXX.com; nested exception is: java.net.UnknownHostException: jefferson.str.com at javax.mail.Transport.send0(Compiled Code) at javax.mail.Transport.send(Transport.java:73) at XXXX.send(Mailer.java:69) at XXXX.RequestHandler.service(RequestHandler.java:52) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:588) at org.apache.jserv.JServConnection.run(JServConnection.java:359) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:479) Workaround: the IP address needs to be explicitly specified (in DOT format). Has anybody experienced any such problems before, and is ther a way to configure the JServ engine to allow connections to the SMTP server. NOTE: the SMTP server is on a different host than the mail application. Thanks for any input. ciao Raghu [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives and Other: <http://java.apache.org/main/mail.html/> Problems?: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
