JavaMail
Hey Guys,
I'm doing some research into a JavaMail and Geronimo tutorial. I noticed
some rumbling about a JavaMail portlet in the new console, and a bunch
of old rumbling about problems with the Sun licence on the JavaMail RI.
Any directions to places in the Source code that would illuminate me, or
contact with people who are working with the mail APIs in Geronimo would
be excellent! Thanks all!
Cheers.
-Neal

Yes, I had figured that there was something missing when my deployment
did the following:
22:30:40,484 ERROR [Deployer] Deployment failed due to
org.apache.geronimo.gbean.InvalidConfigurationException: Could not load
class or

org.openejb.deployment.OpenEJBModuleBuilder.addGBeans(OpenEJBModuleBu
ilder.java:372)
Okay, so I've added mail.jar and activation.jar to a sun/jars/ directory
in my geronimo repository and have also edited the j2ee-server-plan.xml
that I found in the docs/plans directory to add the following lines:
<dependency>
<uri>sun/jars/activation.jar</uri>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<uri>sun/jars/mail.jar</uri>
</dependency>
But, again I have a feeling that this is not sufficient. I still get the
same error. Should I be editing the j2ee-server-plan.xml in my 'source
code' directory and recompiling the server to make this change?

:-) Well, I am not going to distribute the Sun's binary code. I know I
cannot do that. ;-)
I just want to build concretly geronimo-spec-javamail-1.3.1-rc5.jar with
the above suggested patch. I believe the generated jar will not include
Sun's binary code. I believe, the code is going to link to the Sun's
binary code of the javamail.jar.
Given this facts, can I include the geronimo-spec-javamail-1.3.1-rc5.jar
into the Apache Cocoon distro?
TIA. :-)
Best Regards,
Antonio Gallardo

Can I do this for another Apache project (Cocoon)? I will like to add
the fixed geronimo-spec-j2ee-1.0-M4.jar into cocoon distro. Are there
some legal concerns?

Chatting with Geir earlier today it appears our SMTP provider is not
being included in the distribution. For now I would suggest modifying
the j2ee-server-plan.xml to include Sun's distribution of JavaMail as a
dependency *before* the geronimo-spec-j2ee-1.0-M4.jar dependency.

You added it to ejb-jar.xml which as you say is good. That is the
standardized part of the configuration

The entry in the ejb-jar.xml is declaring that the SLSB is using a mail
resource. The <gbean> entry is defining what the resource is and is
allowing you to set its properties; this is vendor specific.
If you are using an EAR to contain the ejb-jar the application
deployment plan is the place to add it; if you have a naked ejb-jar then
you should add the GBean definition at the bottom of the ejb deployment
plan (openejb-jar.xml IIRC). Note these do not need to be included in
the module archive, the deployer can take a generic module with just
standard definitions and an external deployment plan.
You can also package up the GBean definition separately using a
<configuration> plan and deploy that completely separately (perhaps to
share between multiple applications).

Further to this, I am getting the following errors while deploying:
org.apache.geronimo.common.DeploymentException: Unable to resolve
resource refer
ence 'mail/MailSession' (no matching resources found)
at
org.apache.geronimo.naming.deployment.ENCConfigBuilder.addResourceRef

I'll keep looking... probably I need to add the gbean in the
openejb-jar.xml deployment plan instead?

Okay, so, since I'm a bit of an XDoclet nut, still, I've done the
following to add the resource ref to one of my SLSB beans:
@ejb.resource-ref
description="JavaMail Resource"
res-ref-name="mail/MailSession"
res-type="javax.mail.Session"
res-auth="Container"
res-sharing-scope="Shareable"
Which ends up adding the following lines to my ejb-jar.xml file:
<resource-ref >
<description><![CDATA[JavaMail Resource]]></description>
<res-ref-name>mail/MailSession</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.mail.Session</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
<res-sharing-scope>Shareable</res-sharing-scope>
</resource-ref>
Which is all good. Now, which deployment plan do I add the resource ref
to? I loked for gbean in the schemas and found that it can live in the
geronimo-application.xml under my module definitions. Is that the
correct place to put it in order to use it from within a SLSB?
Thanks Jeremy,

The easiest way is to define a resource reference in the standard
deployment descriptor:
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>mail/MailSession</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.mail.Session</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
<res-sharing-scope>Shareable</res-sharing-scope>
</resource-ref>
You can then look up the resource with code like:
javax.mail.Session sess = (Session)
new InitialContext().lookup("java:comp/env/mail/MailSession");
We don't provide a default session but you can define one using a GBean
in your deployment plan:
<gbean name="mail/MailSession"
class="org.apache.geronimo.mail.SMTPTransportGBean">
<attribute name="host">mail.example.com</attribute>
</gbean>
Other attributes can be set as appropriate; I think we support all the
"standard" mail.smtp ones and non-standard ones can be set through the
"properties" attribute.

Hi Jeremy,
Well, I've looked through the source and found the
org.apache.geronimo.mail module. It seems to contain a few GBeans and
some tests. The tests are mostly empty. How would I create an SMTP
transport session from my code?
Thanks.
