JSP Email

[Virendra Chandak]

Hi,

I am using the following code to send email using JSP through gmail.

But i am getting error in the following line:
Session mailSession = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);

String host="", user="", pass="";
host = smtp_server; //"smtp.gmail.com"; 
user = jsp_email; //"[e-mail]" // email id to send the emails
pass = jsp_email_pw; //Your gmail password
String SSL_FACTORY = "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory";
String to = "[e-mail]"; // out going email id
String from = "[e-mail]"; //Email id of the recipient
String subject = "subject";
String messageText = "body";
boolean sessionDebug = true;
Properties props = System.getProperties();
props.put("mail.host", host);
props.put("mail.transport.protocol.", "smtp");
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.", "true");
props.put("mail.smtp.port", "465");
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback", "false");
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class", SSL_FACTORY);
Session mailSession = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
mailSession.setDebug(sessionDebug);
Message msg = new MimeMessage(mailSession);
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
InternetAddress[] address = {new InternetAddress(to)};
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, address);
msg.setSubject(subject);
msg.setContent(messageText, "text/html"); // use setText if you want to send text
Transport transport = mailSession.getTransport("smtp");
transport.connect(host, user, pass);
try {
transport.sendMessage(msg, msg.getAllRecipients());
out.println("Email sent");
WasEmailSent = true; // assume it was sent
}
catch (Exception err) {
WasEmailSent = false; // assume it's a fail
}
transport.close();

Does anyone else is also getting similar error?

Or do you have any better way to send email using jsp.

This is an a JSP? Very inappropriate. Move the code to a Java class.

Hard to say, since you didn't tell us the actual error you got.

Sorry, about that

In the line
Session mailSession = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);

I am getting the following error:

Session cannot be resolved to a type

[Ulf Dittmer]

How are you importing that class?

But as Bear said, it's terrible design to do this kind of thing in a JSP.
