<h1>Using SendMailTransfomer with Cocoon 2.1.8 or recent</h1>
<p class="note">The SendMailTransformer needs the
<a href="http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/">JavaMail</a> and
<a href="http://java.sun.com/products/javabeans/glasgow/jaf.html">JavaBeans
Activation Framework (JAF)</a> API's from Sun to work. Add them to WEB-INF/lib.
Remove geronimo-spec-javamail-*.jar and geronimo-spec-activation-*.jar from
WEB-INF/lib. For more information, see <a href="#Problem">Problem &
Solution</a>.</p>
<h2>Simple example</h2>
<p>Add this to the transformers in your sitemap</p>
<pre><map:transformer name="sendmail" src="org.apache.cocoon.mail.transformation.SendMailTransformer"/>
</pre>
<p>Add this in a pipeline in your sitemap</p>
<pre><map:match pattern="mailme">
<map:generate src="sendmail.xml"/>
<map:transform type="sendmail"/>
<map:serialize type="xml"/>
</map:match>
</pre>
<p>Example of sendmail.xml. The values in this document override those from the
sitemap. You can remove them here if you have set them in the sitemap.</p>

<h2 id="Problem">Problem & Solution</h2>
<h3>Problem</h3>
<p>It doesn't matter which SMTP-Host (or SMTP-Port) you fill in, you get the
following error:</p>
<pre>"Could not connect to SMTP host: localhost, port: 25 (java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect)"
</pre>
<p>if you have a mailserver running on your machine on port 25:</p>
<pre>Exception sending mail java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String
</pre>
<h3>Solution</h3>
<p>Cocoon uses geronimo-spec-javamail-*.jar and geronimo-spec-activation-*.jar
instead of Sun <a href="http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/JavaMail">JavaMail</a>
and JAF.</p>
<p>Due to licensing issues, it is not possible to ship the Sun jars with Cocoon,
but without these jars, Cocoon would not compile. Therefore the geronimo jars
are included.</p>
<p>Remove geronimo-spec-javamail-*.jar and geronimo-spec-activation-*.jar from
WEB-INF/lib and restart Cocoon.</p>
<p>If this still doesn't work remove geronimo-spec-javamail-*.jar from
/lib/optional and remove it in lib/jars.xml (or comment it with <!-- -->).
Copy src/blocks/mail/mocks from Cocoon 2.1.7 to the same directory in Cocoon
2.1.8 and rebuild Cocoon. Then add Sun
<a href="http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/JavaMail">JavaMail</a> and Activation
into WEB-INF/lib and remove geronimo-spec-activation-*.jar.</p>
