How to send emails from a JSP page or a servlet ? Print

To send an email from your java applications hosted on our servers, you can use the JavaMail library in the following way:

1. Download the latest version of JavaMail:
   http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/
2. Install the library in the WEB-INF/lib/ directory of your application

You can then use the following code example (Servlet sending a message) :

package com.tizoo;

import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;


public class Mailer extends HttpServlet 
{
 public void init() {}

 public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
 throws ServletException, IOException 
 {
 Properties props = new Properties();
 props.put("mail.smtp.host", "localhost");
 props.put("mail.from", "adresse@expediteur.com");
 Session sess = Session.getInstance(props, null);
 try 
 {
 MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(sess);
 msg.setFrom();
 msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
 "adresse@destinataire.net");
 msg.setSubject("Subject of message");
 msg.setSentDate(new Date());
 msg.setText("Message body!");
 Transport.send(msg);
 } 
 catch (MessagingException mex) 
 {
 System.out.println("send failed, exception: " + mex); 
 }
 res.setContentType("text/html");
 PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
 out.println("Message sent");
 out.close();
 }
}
