Why jsp can't send javamail?

[lyo Yashnoo]

Hi everyone:

I am writing javamail in jsp using Tomcat.I set the Session in Tomcat console.It is "mail/session". In jsp my code is:
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Context ctx=new InitialContext();
Session session=(Session)ctx.lookup("mail/session");
Message message=new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(mailfrom));
But when I click the send mail button,Tomcat report error:
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name mail is not bound in this Context
But I have set the "session" value in console indeed.
Even I change the code to "Session session=(Session)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/mail/session");" It also can't work.Tomcat says:"javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name java:comp is not bound in this Context"
Why this happen?I found that the situaction happen usually when I use like datasource,Mail.Tomcat isn't steady?

I send the mail in servlet.But it alway says :"ENCOUNTERED EXCEPTION: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name java:comp is not bound in this Context ".
But I had set the value in Tomcat console.The Tomcat's example:javamail can run property.Have someone come across this problem? :roll:

Perhaps someone in the Tomcat forum would be more familiar with this.

what console would that be? What does your server.xml file look like?

As an aside, if you're doing this in a JSP, you might want to choose a different variable name than 'session'.
