Re: Tomcat 6 and javamail
OK, firstly thanks for the feedback so far Let me be quite clear about one thing. I am using the same mail server in both cases. Tomcat and Eclipse are running on the same physical device with the same IP address. If I configure a JavaMail session as described in the following resource http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html (JavaMail section) and set auth to false in context.xml everything works perfectly when sending mail from the web application. When I try to send mail with my mail component cofigured to work without using the configured session it fails with Authentication failed To sum up then The mail server does not require authentication when accessed from the office subnet. The server guys have confirmed this. I am using the same mail server for the standalone test, the test where the mail component is configured to use the JNDI resource configured in context.xml and the test where the mail component uses the same configuration mechanism as the standlone test. The only test that fails is the last one. Something has changed since Tomcat 5. I have exactly the same component running in several webapps on Tomcat 5 servers without any need to configure JNDI resources/Mail sessions etc JAVA_OPTS and CATALINA_OPTS have not been modified by me and do not contain anything other that the default settings (none of which appear to have anything to do with mail config settings).

Hi Lyallex, for everybody that is still struggling with this issue, here is a

String d_email, d_password, d_host, d_port;
public Email(String email, String password, String host, String port) {
d_email = email;
d_password = password;
d_host = host;
d_port = port;
}
public boolean send(String m_to, String m_subject, String m_text) {
// email address
String to = m_to;
String from = d_email;
// ISP mail server
String host = d_host;
//
Properties props = new Properties();
// static transport.send() - need to specify which host to send it to
props.put(mail.smtp.host, host);
// To see what is going on
props.put(mail.debug, false);
//
Session session = Session.getInstance(props);
try {
// message
Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
//message attributes
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
InternetAddress[] address = {new InternetAddress(to)};
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, address);
msg.setSubject(m_subject);
msg.setSentDate(new Date());
// message content
msg.setText(m_text);
//send
Transport.send(msg);
return true;
}
catch (MessagingException mex) {

Tomcat does not automagically change your code. If this is passed in your
code, it is used.
You say in Eclipse you use - (mail.smtp.auth = false) and sends the
email. Try sending authentication.
private class SMTPAuthenticator extends javax.mail.Authenticator {
@ Override
public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication(d_email, d_password);

}
Did you try that? If the mail server says it wants authentication, it's no use
forcing JavaMail to not authenticate.

Re: Tomcat 6 and javamail
Hi Well I've had problems with this before. As I'm sure you know, the JavaMail API 1.4.1 distribution contains dsn.jar, imap.jar, mailapi.jar, pop3.jar and smtp.jar I was very careful to make sure that I only had the above jars in EITHER the web application's lib directory (WEB-INF/lib) OR tomcat's lib directory (../apache-tomcat-6.0.16/lib) restarting every time I made a change. I just tried again, searching the entire tomcat filesystem each time to ensure that there were no duplicates but still no luck. Unfortunately the mail server admin is being less than helpful so I can't even see what is happening at the other end. Any other ideas ?

Start by making sure there is only one copy of the javamail jar.
Remove either the one in tomcat's lib directory or your webapp's lib
directory.

Hi
Tomcat 6.0.16
jdk1.6.0_06
javamail 1.4.1
I have a simple component that uses javamail 1.4.1 to send e-mail
It works perfectly 'standalone' (executed from Eclipse).
It connects to the server (mail.smtp.auth = false)
and sends the email
I've read the available docs at
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html
which talk about activation.jar among others
As I am using jdk 1.6 I understand that this is no longer required (it
is included in the distro).
The javamail 1.4.1 jars are in CATALINA_HOME/lib
I have also tried them in WEB-INF/classes/lib
when I invoke the component in the webapp I get
javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException
debug output shows that my components configuration parameters are
IDENTICAL to those used in standalone mode.
I am not using jndi resources or resources defined in context.xml, I
am not using tomcats JavaMail session management.
I just need this to work as a simple component without lots of config
to start with.
Can anyone let me in on the 'secret' to getting this to work. I've had
similar components working in earlier releases (and they are still
working)
Something must have changed, I'm rather hoping it's not a securuity
thing but I suspect it might be.
I'm not asking anyone to debug my application I could just do with a
pointer or two.
Any help much appreciated
Cheers
