Using Log4j mail appender in Karaf with pax logging
Is it possible to use the log4j email appenders in karaf?
I have been googling for a few hours and I have seen a number of partial
answers but nothing definative one way or the other.
Here is my SMTP appender configuration in org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg
log4j.appender.MAIL=org.apache.log4j.net.SMTPAppender
log4j.appender.MAIL.BufferSize=10
log4j.appender.MAIL.SMTPHost=xxxxx
log4j.appender.MAIL.From=xxxxxx
log4j.appender.MAIL.to=xxxxx
log4j.appender.MAIL.Subject=Error Alert
log4j.appender.MAIL.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.MAIL.layout.ConversionPattern=%d [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n
and the exception I get:

This seems to indicate that the log4j SMTPAppender class is being found
correctly but then it cannot resolve the javax.mail package.
What is the best way to get the javax.mail package available to the pax
logging bundle? I found a number of postings that indicated this requires an
update to the jre or config properties file but I hesitate to start randomly
changing things I dont understand.
Thanks!

Thanks guys, I was able to get emails working with pax-logging and karaf.
I tried exporting the javax.mail packages in jre.properties as suggested by
Mike but I was getting the same error. I tried Jean's suggestion of loading
the osgi packaged version of javax.mail and that worked, log4j would
correctly start.
However when it tried to actually send an email I got errors like:
javax.activation.UnsupportedDataTypeException: no object DCH for MIME type
multipart/mixed;
This was due to the javax.activation package exposed by the jre not working.
Servicemix has created an OSGI friendly version of this package. I had to
comment out the javax.activation export from jre.properties and load the
following feature:
<feature name="javax-mail-in-osgi">
<bundle>mvn:javax.mail/mail/1.4.3</bundle>
<bundle>mvn:org.apache.servicemix.specs/org.apache.servicemix.specs.activation-api-1.1/1.7.0</bundle>
</feature>
Thanks for the quick response! I was close to the solution but could have
easily burnt half a day trying different permutations.

Hi,
You have to install javax.mail bundle. This bundle is part of the jetty
feature or you can install by hand:
osgi:install mvn:javax.mail/mail/1.4.3

Re: Using Log4j mail appender in Karaf with pax logging
Posted by mikevan <mv...@comcast.net>.
Sam,
Depending on the level of Java you are using with Karaf (currently 1.5.x and
1.6.x are supported), you'd want to edit your jre.properties file under the
appropriate version that you're using, and add the following line between
javax.imageio.stream and javax.management (note the leading space):
javax.mail, \
Once this is done, restart karaf, and the new package will be available
within Karaf. To verify this, run this command:
karaf@root> exports | grep javax.mail
Please let me know if that helps.
