Commons-Email -- not J2EE 1.3?
Hello,
I just tried using Commons-Email RC5 on WebLogic 8.1. When using the Email.addTo method, I receive a NoSuchMethodError.
It appears that the Email class is attempting to use InternetAddress.validate(), which is part of J2EE 1.4, not 1.3. Since I'm using WebLogic 8.1, which is only J2EE 1.3, it looks like I'm stuck.
Is there any way around this?
Thanks!

Sorry, I missed a bit, along with the method/contructor with the new strict
flag, they say....

Another alternative is to remove the use of the validate() method. I created
a bugzilla ticket with patch here:
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36536
... or if email doesn't accept that change - then you could patch the Email
class yourself

So one work-round might be to download JavaMail 1.3 and use that to
replace the existing JavaMail version?
However, I suppose this might cause other things to break ... unless
you can add it just for Commons Email.

Re: [email] Commons-Email -- not J2EE 1.3?
Posted by Niall Pemberton <ni...@blueyonder.co.uk>.
In JavaMail 1.2 you had no choice over how "strict" in checking the RFC822
syntax of an email address was - whether you used the static parse() method
or the InternetAddress constructor to create a new InternetAddress object.
In JavaMail 1.3 flavours of the parse() method and InternetAddress
constructor were added with a "strict" flag so that there was the option of
creating InternetAddress without strictly enforcing RFC822 syntax - the
reason being, in their words "To better support the range of "invalid"
addresses seen in real messages".
Commons Email is however not constructing InternetAddress with an argument
of strict=false and therefore I believe the use of the validate() method is
completley spurious - since its going to throw any AddressExceptions when
the InternetAddress objects are constucted. I believe you could just remove
the line calling the validate() method in the Email.createInternetAddress()
method with no difference in behaviour.
One other point - there don't appear to be any tests of invalid email
addresses in TestEmail. If there were, it would be easy to verify this.

This sounds like something that should be fixed. Not sure what the
alternative to this method is though...

Is it possible for you to deploy the javamail-1.3.x with your
application? The method call that you've mentioned is part of the
1.2 -> 1.3 enhancements listed on
http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/JavaMail-1.3-changes.txt
I've used commons-email in its development stages (and before as part
of Turbine) on a number of JDKs in the 1.3-1.4.2 range and it worked
everywhere. I'd think that if you deploy the javamail jar together
with your application, this should work.
