[jira] Created: (GERONIMO-2593) Document Javamail Session creation and usage

Document Javamail Session creation and usage
--------------------------------------------

                 Key: GERONIMO-2593
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2593
             Project: Geronimo
          Issue Type: Improvement
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
          Components: documentation
    Affects Versions: 1.1.1
         Environment: WAS CE 1.1.0.1
            Reporter: Mike Perham


I can't find anywhere in the GDOC11 wiki or WAS CE public documentation that explains how to create a simple system-wide mail Session.  The Geronimo console does not have a page to create them and the samples only contain a single "javamail" config project whose plan.xml is incomprehensible to a mere mortal like me.

Please provide an example how to create a mail Session (or how to get one out of the javamail module configured in config.xml?) and how to reference that session within a webapp.

If anyone sees this issue and can email me an example, please email mike AT perham.net.  I'm stuck on this right now.

Hernan,

Maybe we can include this in our docs so we have basic documentation for JavaMail. I don't mind doing it but not sure where to put it. :-)

Thanks,
chris

[jira] Resolved: (GERONIMO-2593) Document Javamail Session creation and usage

Posted by "Chi Runhua (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.
     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2593?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Chi Runhua resolved GERONIMO-2593.
----------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: 2.1.6
                   2.2.1
                   3.0
       Resolution: Fixed

We already document the usage of Java Maill and have it as one of Geronimo sample applications. 

For JAMES plugin, we have https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-4117 to track the status.

For testsuite improvement, I filed a new JIRA as https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-5307

I'm not sure how hard it would be to do that, but James unfortunately 
doesn't support all of the things we'd actually like to test with 
something like that (such as different authentication types).  It also 
has a few bugs I tripped over trying to test things like the NNTP support.

This suggests a couple of wish-list ideas:

-- a JAMES plugin for geronimo
-- turning this into a testsuite functional test

Any ideas on how hard it might be to do these?

[jira] Commented: (GERONIMO-2593) Document Javamail Session creation and usage

Hi Mike,

Hope this helps.

{color:red} 
Using Geronimo's default JavaMail session:
{color} 

Note: This was tested on trunk and should be the same steps for Geronimo v1.2 and v2.0 with minor changes specifically references to JavaMail module ID.

1. Download Apache JAMES from: http://apache2.openmirrors.org/james/server/binaries/james-2.3.0.zip

2. Unzip file and run JAMES by executing: \james-2.3.0\bin\run.bat. You should see something like this:

{code:xml}
Phoenix 4.2

James Mail Server 2.3.0
Remote Manager Service started plain:4555
POP3 Service started plain:110
SMTP Service started plain:25
NNTP Service started plain:119
FetchMail Disabled
{code}

3. Make sure JavaMail module is started:

- For trunk and v2.0-M1: org.apache.geronimo.configs/javamail/2.0-SNAPSHOT/car (by default this is started)
- For v1.2-beta: org.apache.geronimo.configs/javamail/1.2-beta/car (by default this is not started)
- To start the module you can:

  a. Use the Web Console: Applications > System Modules > Click 'Start' link beside the JavaMail module ID

  b. Use command line deployer:

{code:xml}
cd <geronimo_home>\bin
java -jar deployer.jar --user system --password manager start org.apache.geronimo.configs/javamail/2.0-SNAPSHOT/car
{code} 

  c. Stop the server. Modify <geronimo_home>\var\config\config.xml and set JavaMail module load attribute to 'true':

{code:xml} 
...
<module load="true" name="org.apache.geronimo.configs/javamail/2.0-SNAPSHOT/car">
    <gbean name="SMTPTransport">
        <attribute name="host">localhost</attribute>
        <attribute name="port">25</attribute>
    </gbean>
</module>
...
{code} 

Note: You can configure the SMTP transport's host and port by overriding the values of the SMTPTransport GBean attrbitues. For our test we will use the default. This will allow us to connect to JAMES running in localhost and using port 25 (the default SMTP port).

3. Create a simple webapp (sendmail.war - attached in this issue) containing the following files:

{code:xml}
sendmail.war
  + index.jsp
  + WEB-INF
    + web.xml
    + geronimo-web.xml

> I can't find anywhere in the GDOC11 wiki or WAS CE public documentation that explains how to create a simple system-wide mail Session.  The Geronimo console does not have a page to create them and the samples only contain a single "javamail" config project whose plan.xml is incomprehensible to a mere mortal like me.
> Please provide an example how to create a mail Session (or how to get one out of the javamail module configured in config.xml?) and how to reference that session within a webapp.
> If anyone sees this issue and can email me an example, please email mike AT perham.net.  I'm stuck on this right now.
