JavaMail Session with Authentication

[Bertrand Guay-Paquet <be...@step.polymtl.ca>]

Hi,

I'm trying to setup a JavaMail session through TomEE but it's not 
working and I'm running out of ideas...

Here is the configuration from conf/tomee.xml :
<Resource id="mail/mailsession" type="javax.mail.Session">
    mail.smtp.host=smtp.gmail.com
    mail.smtp.port=465
    mail.transport.protocol=smtp
    mail.smtp.auth=true
    mail.smtp.user=myemail@gmail.com
    password=myemailpassword
    mail.from=myemail@gmail.com
    mail.smtp.socketFactory.class=javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory
    mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback=false
</Resource>

I reference this from an EJB bean like so:
     @Resource(name = "mail/mailsession")
     private Session mailSession;

and send emails this way:
     MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(mailSession, inputStream);
     Transport.send(message);

The injection works fine, but Transport.send fails with the following 
exception:
javax.mail.SendFailedException: Send failure 
(javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException: null)

Stepping in Transport.Send, I see that it can't find a password and 
since mail.smtp.auth=true, it throws.

As far as I can see, I followed the instructions from 
http://tomee.apache.org/configuring-javamail.html

I built a test app using javamail directly with the same parameters and 
could send emails. However, I did have to create a PasswordAuthenticator 
instance which I passed to the Session factory method. Maybe this is 
missing in TomEE?

Regards,
Bertrand

if you want to propose a patch (you are pretty close to it ;))

here is the class to patch:

Thanks for raising the JIRA.  It would be nice to get the smtp authentication
built into tomee.

Thanks so much Anthony! I was banging my head against the wall over this...

I used your code with a small mod to work with future versions of TomEE 
or other containers where this is fixed :

@PostConstruct
public void postConstruct() {
     boolean authenticate = 
"true".equals(session.getProperty("mail.smtp.auth"));
     if (authenticate) {
         String protocol = session.getProperty("mail.transport.protocol");
         String host = session.getProperty("mail.smtp.host");
         String username = session.getProperty("mail.smtp.user");
         URLName url = new URLName(protocol, host, -1, null, username, 
null);

         // Only specify the password authentication config if not 
already present. This is a workaround for
         // TomEE 1.0.0.
         // TODO remove when TomEE properly handles mail session creation.
         if (session.getPasswordAuthentication(url) == null
                 && session.requestPasswordAuthentication(null, -1, 
null, null, null) == null) {

             String password = session.getProperty("password");
             session.setPasswordAuthentication(url, new 
PasswordAuthentication(
                     username, password));
         } else {
             log.warn("Did you forget to remove the JavaMail Session 
authentication workaround for TomEE 1.0.0?");
         }
     }
}

I created a new JIRA issue TOMEE-407

Thanks Anthony for helping on that area.
Was not aware about that restriction.

If you wanna move forward, maybe you could open a JIRA and push a patch.
We could commit it for you and it would be welcome.

I had the same issue and discovered that the password isn't actually used by
openejb.  I implemented a solution described here...
