Sending mail through webdynpro

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have created an application in webdynpro for uploading files on the server.

Now i want that on action of uploading the file when the file is uploaded a mail should be sent to a particular group of users. the user to which email should be sent will be defined early like we dont have to enter email address on the runtime, it should send email automatically on the click of button.

The email should be sent to the users available in the portal so please tell me how to extract the email id on the basis of ep user id as we extract user first name and last name etc.

thanks and regards...

Hi,

from the IUser object use the method String getEmail()

Gets the user's default email address.

Hi,

As their is no difference in sending mail from WD or any other app

use the following sample code

import java.util.*;

import javax.mail.*;

import javax.mail.internet.*;

import javax.activation.*;

public void send Mail {

// SUBSTITUTE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESSES HERE!!!

String to = // To user id either from the context or hard coded

String from = // From user id either from the context or hard coded

// SUBSTITUTE YOUR ISP'S MAIL SERVER HERE!!!

String host = "smtp.yourisp.net";

// Create properties, get Session

Properties props = new Properties();

// If using static Transport.send(),

// need to specify which host to send it to

props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);

// To see what is going on behind the scene

props.put("mail.debug", "true");

Session session = Session.getInstance(props);

try {

// Instantiatee a message

Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);

//Set message attributes

msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));

InternetAddress[] address = {new InternetAddress(to)};

msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, address);

msg.setSubject("Test E-Mail through WD Java");

msg.setSentDate(new Date());

// Set message content

msg.setText("This is a test of sending a " +

"plain text e-mail through WD Java.\n" +

"Here is line 2.");

//Send the message

Transport.send(msg);

}

catch (MessagingException mex) {

// Prints all nested (chained) exceptions as well

mex.printStackTrace();

}

}

hi Ayyappa,

Thanks for ur reply

i tried ur code but there is a problem when i type

Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);

Its giving error of Type mismatch cannot convert from MimeMessage to Message.

And if i use

MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);

then the error is in

msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO ,address);

it says cannot resolve Message.RecipientType.TO

And Transport.send(msg) says the method send(MimeMessage ) is undefind for the type Tranport.

Please help

Thanks

Hi

Instead of using

MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);

use

javax.mail.Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);

Then click on Organise imports.

thanks akshaya,

Its not showing any error now but the code is not working also.

I think there is some problem with Isp/s mail server and smtp host.

I am working on the servers in US so which isp host i have to give local or US..

Ansl also tell me what should be replaced with "mail.smtp.host". and isp mail server is the Exchange server address or something else.

thanks

check this code(this is sending a file as an attachment using mail,u can change it accordingly to ur need)

try

{

// Get system properties

Properties props = System.getProperties();

// Setup mail server

<b> props.put("mail.smtp.host", "name of the exchange server or ip server where exchange server is residing");</b>

props.put("mail.smtp.port", "25");

props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");

// Get session

Authenticator loAuthenticator = new MailAuthenticator();

Session session = Session.getInstance(props, loAuthenticator);

String mailfrom = "from address";

String mailto = "to address";

String ccmailid = "cc address";

String subject = "Subject";

System.setProperty("mail.mime.encodeeol.strict", "true");

MimeMessage mimemessage = new MimeMessage(session);

// set FROM

mimemessage.setFrom(new InternetAddress(mailfrom));

// set DATE

mimemessage.setSentDate(new java.util.Date());

// set SUBJECT

mimemessage.setSubject(subject);

// set TO address

try

{

mimemessage.setRecipients(

javax.mail.Message.RecipientType.TO,

mailto);

}

catch (Exception exception1)

{

System.out.println(

"\tError in setting recipients ......\t"

+ exception1.getMessage());

}

// set message BODY

MimeBodyPart mimebodypart = new MimeBodyPart();

mimebodypart.setText("Answers of ");

// attach message BODY

MimeMultipart mimemultipart = new MimeMultipart();

mimemultipart.addBodyPart(mimebodypart);

// attach FILE

mimebodypart = new MimeBodyPart();

try

{

FileDataSource filedatasource = new FileDataSource(filepath);

mimebodypart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(filedatasource));

}

catch (Exception exception3)

{

System.out.println(

"\tError in sending file not been able to attach ......\t"

+ exception3.getMessage());

}

mimebodypart.setFileName(userName+"_Answers.pdf"); // set FILENAME

mimemultipart.addBodyPart(mimebodypart);

mimemessage.setContent(mimemultipart);

String strResult = "";

//set CC MAIL and SEND the mail

if (!mailto.equals(""))

{

// set CC MAIL

try

{

// send MAIL

Transport.send(mimemessage);

System.out.println("\tSent Successfully..........");

strResult = "\tSent Successfully..........";

}

catch (Exception exception4)

{

System.out.println(

"\tError in sending Address Try........."

+ exception4.getMessage());

}

}

else

{

System.out.println("\tMail operation Failed..........\t");

strResult = "\tMail operation Failed..........\t";

}

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

System.out.println("ddd" + ex.getMessage());

}

hi Bala,

I have used your code as follows for sending mail without attachment:-

try

{

// Get system properties

Properties props = System.getProperties();

// Setup mail server

props.put("mail.smtp.host", "IP of the exchange server");

props.put("mail.smtp.port", "25");

props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");

// Get session

Authenticator loAuthenticator = new MailAuthenticator();

Session session = Session.getInstance(props, loAuthenticator);

String mailfrom = "Email id here";

String mailto = "to address";

String ccmailid = "cc address";

String subject = "Subject";

System.setProperty("mail.mime.encodeeol.strict", "true");

MimeMessage mimemessage = new MimeMessage(session);

// set FROM

mimemessage.setFrom(new InternetAddress(mailfrom));

// set DATE

mimemessage.setSentDate(new java.util.Date());

// set SUBJECT

mimemessage.setSubject(subject);

// set TO address

try

{

mimemessage.setRecipients(

javax.mail.Message.RecipientType.TO,

mailto);

}

catch (Exception exception1)

{

System.out.println(

"\tError in setting recipients ......\t"

+ exception1.getMessage());

}

// set message BODY

MimeBodyPart mimebodypart = new MimeBodyPart();

mimebodypart.setText("Answers of ");

// attach message BODY

MimeMultipart mimemultipart = new MimeMultipart();

mimemultipart.addBodyPart(mimebodypart);

// attach FILE

mimebodypart = new MimeBodyPart();

if (!mailto.equals(""))

{

// set CC MAIL

try

{

// send MAIL

Transport.send(mimemessage);

System.out.println("\tSent Successfully..........");

strResult = "\tSent Successfully..........";

}

catch (Exception exception4)

{

System.out.println(

"\tError in sending Address Try........."

+ exception4.getMessage());

}

}

else

{

System.out.println("\tMail operation Failed..........\t");

strResult = "\tMail operation Failed..........\t";

}

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

System.out.println("ddd" + ex.getMessage());

}

MailAuthenticator.java
