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: -------------------------Snip-------------------------- Oct 15, 2009 9:58:21 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext listenerStart SEVERE: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.context.GrailsContextLoade rListener org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'mailSession': Invocation of init method failed; nes ted exception is javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name mail is not bound in this Context at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.listenerStart (StandardContext.java:3843) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start (StandardContext.java:4338) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChildInternal (ContainerBase.java:791) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChild (ContainerBase.java:771) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.addChild (StandardHost.java:525) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployWAR (HostConfig.java:830) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployWARs (HostConfig.java:719) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployApps (HostConfig.java:490) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.start (HostConfig.java:1149) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.lifecycleEvent (HostConfig.java:311) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleSupport.fireLifecycleEvent (LifecycleSupport.java:117) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start (ContainerBase.java:1053) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.start (StandardHost.java:719) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start (ContainerBase.java:1045) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine.start (StandardEngine.java:443) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.start (StandardService.java:516) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.start (StandardServer.java:710) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(Catalina.java:578) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.start(Bootstrap.java:288) at org.apache.commons.daemon.support.DaemonLoader.start (DaemonLoader.java:177) Caused by: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name mail is not bound in this Context at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:770) at org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:153) at org.apache.naming.SelectorContext.lookup (SelectorContext.java:137) at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:392) ----------------------------Snip------------------------- 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.
