teaching mailing to JSPWiki
Hi all,
I'm trying to teach mailing to my local JSPWiki on Tomcat 6. Since I'm
using Apache Roller, too, I'd like to configure a global Mail
resource.
My JSPWiki is running with custom authentication via the
CookieAuthModule.
I added the following code to Tomcat's server.xml
<GlobalNamingResources> section:
---
<Resource name="mail/Session" auth="Application"
type="javax.mail.Session"
mail.user="someuser@holeczek.de"
mail.password="secret"
mail.smtp.host="smtp.1und1.de"
mail.smtp.starttls.enable="true"
mail.smtp.auth="true"
debug="true"
description="some desc." />
---
Then I added this jspwiki.xml to Catalina/localhost to map the global
resource to JSPWiki's Context:
---
<Context path="/jspwiki" debug="0">
<ResourceLink
name="mail/Session"
global="mail/Session"
type="javax.mail.Session"
/>
</Context>
---
The next thing was modifying JSPWiki's web.xml:
---
<resource-ref>
<description>Resource reference to a application-managed JNDI JavaMail factory for sending e-mails.</description>
<res-ref-name>mail/Session</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.mail.Session</res-type>
<res-auth>Application</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
---
Well, mailing isn't working :-( I'm not sure if this log entry is
related to this issue:
23.01.2008 12:16:28 org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log
INFO: No jspwiki.propertyfile defined for this context, using default from /WEB-INF/jspwiki.properties
JSPWiki's log tells me that it falls back to its own settings. BTW,
when commenting out all custom mail settings, the log simply contains
a NullPointerException at this place.
I'm new to all this JNDI, JEE a.s.o. stuff and maybe I'm doing a basic
mistake?
Would appreciate any help!
Regards,
Florian

Sometimes yes and sometimes no. Depends on the property.
However, there should never be an NPE because of a missing property -
there should be either a default or a NoRequiredPropertyException.

that's true! Even worse is that it seems as if a NullPointerException
is thrown in case this property is commented out. Aren't there
internal default properties?

BTW, I've created a page - "Mail Session Configuration And Example" to
complete my part. I will be adding another issue to update the text within
the Mail section of the jspwiki.properties file. In my testing tonight, I
determined that regardless of which method JNDI or stand-alone factory the "
mail.from" property is required. This is not apparent from the current text.

Ah. Yes, that is a very good idea. If you are in a patching mood, we'd

Sorry, that was a bit obscure. I meant the "Approval Required For User
Profiles" workflow. When the administrator denies the user creation, then
the user should likely get some sort of account denial message with an
explanation.

Dave, glad things are working for you now!
Not sure what you mean by your suggestion... denied access to what?
Depending on what it is, it's probably a good idea... the workflow
package is meant to be used for all sorts of creative things.

Re: teaching mailing to JSPWiki

Hi,
I updated my source from CVS, added the username & password attributes, and
it works like a charm!
Thank you Florian for tracking this down!
On a Workflow process related note, I'd like to propose that we add an
enhancement so that when a user is denied access, an email with an
explanation is sent. Andrew, would you have any issues with such an
enhancement?
Thanks all,
Dave

Re: teaching mailing to JSPWiki
Posted by Florian Holeczek <fl...@holeczek.de>.
Now that I've posted the bug part of the solution to JIRA JSPWIKI-102,
the rest follows here.
My configuration now is:
conf/server.xml in section GlobalNamingResources:
---
<Resource name="mail/Session" auth="Container"
type="javax.mail.Session"
username="xy@somewhere.de"
password="secret"
mail.user="xy@somewhere.de"
mail.password="secret"
mail.smtp.host="smtp.1und1.de"
mail.smtp.auth="true"
mail.smtp.starttls.enable="true"
description="globale Mailresource für meinen Tomcat-Server zum Verschicken über 1und1" />
---
If anything goes wrong, you may want to add a line mail.debug="true"
to this section.
As you see, I'm using an SMTP mail server that requires authentication
and supports TLS. The problem with this configuration is that it won't
work if only the mail.user/password are set. These aren't
automatically used for authentication, so authentication fails (an
AuthenticationFailedException is thrown).
Therefore, you have to set username/password to the same values (or
values that authenticate you properly).
I got this information from here:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=615393&messageID=3422166
Next you have to link this global resource into JSPWiki's Context.
I did this via webapps/<jspwiki>/META-INF/context.xml (Tomcat 6), but
there are several possibilities to do this. Additionally, these differ
in different versions.
---
<Context path="/jspwiki" debug="false">
<ResourceLink name="mail/Session"
global="mail/Session"
type="javax.mail.Session" />
</Context>
---
Then you'll have to uncomment the following section in JSPWiki's
web.xml descriptor:
---
<resource-ref>
<description>Resource reference to a container-managed JNDI JavaMail factory for sending e-mails.</description>
<res-ref-name>mail/Session</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.mail.Session</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
---
If your mail factory's resource name differs from "mail/Session",
you'll have to set this name in jspwiki.properties:
---
jspwiki.mail.jndiname=mail/Session
---
As Dave already mentioned, depending on your configuration you may
have to delete JSPWiki's activation.jar and mail.jar.
activation.jar isn't needed if your servlet container runs with Java
1.6+. mail.jar isn't needed if it's already contained in the servlet
container's library path.
Dave, please give it another try with these hints. I'm quite sure it
will work :-)
Then, we can publish this on some wiki page.
Janne, where to put it?
Regards,
Florian
Re: teaching mailing to JSPWiki

I would be happy to help document the solution. I can't wait to see what
you've found. This was the only bug preventing me from deploying JSPWiki at
my company's client site and for a non-profit that I help out.
Cheers,
Dave

Awesome, guys! Please post the solution to the bug :-)

Re: teaching mailing to JSPWiki
Posted by Florian Holeczek <fl...@holeczek.de>.
Hi Dave,
thank you very much for your reply. I've been trying a few hours now
and found the mistakes. My installation is working now!
One of the mistakes is a JSPWiki bug. For now, I believe no one could
have been using JSPWiki mailing via JNDI as it's been simply logically
impossible.
Dave, I found your JIRA entry on this issue and will reopen it and
post the solution as a comment there.
There are a few other hints related to JavaMail in general. Maybe you
and me could write a bit about this on jspwiki.org?
Regards,
Florian
Re: teaching mailing to JSPWiki
Posted by Dave Wolf <da...@gmail.com>.
Hi Florian,
I've run into the same problem, but I've been assured by Janne that it
works. I've taken a similar approach as you have, but have not yet had
success.
Janne, would it be possible for you to expand on the documentation for
setting up mail? Some examples of the configuration files would be great.
Florian, btw, JRE 1.6 provides the activation jar, so you likely should
remove it from <tomcat home>/lib and remove it from JSPWiki/WEB-INF/lib to
prevent classpath issues, if you're using JRE 1.6.
Regards,
Dave
