SimpleEmail through JSP

[Rajesh Balu]

Hi,


I am trying to send e-mails through JSP page. I just got the below code.

<%
SimpleEmail email = new SimpleEmail();
email.setHostName("hostname");
email.addTo("TO", "Balu, Rajesh");
email.setFrom("FROM", "Balu, Rajesh");
email.setSubject("Test message");
email.setMsg("This is a simple test of commons-email");
email.send();
%>


It is working fine in stand-alone java program. But i am getting the below error if i try the same code in JSP page.

D:\Srvapps\was70-ws01\profiles\was70-ws01-01\temp\node70-ws01-01\jvm70-ws01-01\TravelRequestEAR\RC_PRISM_Travel.war\_TestPage.java : 94 : SimpleEmail cannot be resolved to a type

Hi Rajesh

Did you import the SimpleEmail class in your jsp page ?

e.g.
<%@ page import="org.apache.commons.mail.SimpleEmail"%>

Claudiu

[Rajesh Balu]

Yes, i have imported the SimpleEmail class.

<%@page import="org.apache.commons.mail.SimpleEmail"%>

[Claudiu Chelemen]

Then the webserver / application server does "see" the apache commons jar.
What server are you running your app on and where did you put the apache jar ?

Why one earth would you move working code form a Java class where it belongs, to a JSP where Java code is a very poor practice? Move it back to a class and never use Java in a JSP.

[William Brogden]

Furthermore, with a separate class, you can design it so it can be tested outside the servlet/jsp environment by adding a main method.

There are enough complexities in servlet/jsp - test everything you can outside that environment.

Claudiu,

My application in running in WAS server and i have placed the library in the library folder of the application..


Bear Bibeault,

I have tried with the JSP and servlets and i faced the mentioned issues. So only i moved on to Java code.



Thanks,
