I'm having some difficulty setting up a shared email resource under
Tomcat and I can't seem to find the answer anywhere online. Everything
seems to be working under Tomcat, but for some reason my application
can't find the JNDI name..
In server.xml I have:
----------------Snip--------------------------
<GlobalNamingResources>
<!-- Editable user database that can also be used by
UserDatabaseRealm to authenticate users
-->
<Resource name="UserDatabase" auth="Container"
type="org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase"
description="User database that can be updated and saved"
factory="org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory"
pathname="conf/tomcat-users.xml" />
<Resource name="mail/Session"
type="javax.mail.Session"
auth="Container"
mail.smtp.host="myserver.com"
mail.smtp.auth="true"
username="myuser"
password="mypassword"
mail.user="myuser"
mail.password="mypassword"
mail.port="25"
mail.transport.protocol="smtp"
mail.debug="true"/>
</GlobalNamingResources>
--------------------------Snip--------------------------
In /etc/tomcat6/web.xml, I have:
-------------------------Snip---------------------------
<ResourceLink>
<name>mail/Session</name>
<global>mail/Session</global>
<type>javax.mail.Session</type>
</ResourceLink>
-------------------------Snip---------------------------
All I want is for any application to be able to use the JNDI mechanism to
lookup the mail session and use it. The error I'm getting when an
application actually tries to use the mail session is as follows:

When I look at the resources that Tomcat recognizes through the manager
app, I see the following:
OK - Listed global resources of all types
mail/Session:javax.mail.Session
UserDatabase:org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabase
So it looks like its there. How do I expose this to my application? I'm
sure I'm missing something obvious, but I can't seem to figure it out.
Thank you!
