Testing JavaMail

Hello,

Do you know if there is a way/software/technology for testing my servlets to see if they sent the correct emails (using javamail)????

Thanks

Jose

Hi Jose,

I came across this article a while back and bookmarked it, haven't tried 
it yet.  Please let us know what ends up working for you.

Hi Jose,

2 solutions:

1/ you use a real mail server during your (integration) test. For
example, Jakarta James. The best would be an embeddable java mail server
that you run from within your test. I don't know if there is such a
beast.

2/ you use Mock Objects to mock the javamail API

Solution 2/ is by far the simplest but you'll still need functional
tests later on to verify it really works (note that these tests can be
manual if you don't want to spend the time to automate them).

Hope it helps,
-Vincent
