Exception while sending Email

[Radhakrishna Kalyan <nr...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I have a session bean and it is trying to send an email using Java's email
using Transport.send().

But I am getting the following exception:













*javax.mail.MessagingException: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed

Any suggestions about how to send email in OpenEJB

SocketTimeoutException is 'usually' a valid exception that you 'may' want
to handle (or just log to error file) in your app, but keep reading below.

As you can see above, org.apache.geronimo.javamail is a 'wrapper' for
(oracle/sun's) javamail (jar).

When I first started using TomEE (OpenEJB) to send/receive emails, I ran
into an unrelated issue/defect, GERONIMO-6421[1]. After reporting that
issue to tomee user list, I was advised by David Blevins to do the
following:

1. remove geronimo-javamail_1.4_mail-1.8.2.jar from tomee/lib folder
2. drop/replace-that-file-with oracle/sun's javamail JAR file

That solved my issue. So, whenever I use new release/snapshot of tomee+, i
always repeat the steps above, before I start tomee (and my app). If you
continue to experience the SocketTimeoutException, then there is an I.P.
connection issue between your app/server and target/email server. Since
tomee=tomcat, you can configure your <Connector> in tomee's server.xml to
avoid SocketTimeoutException's.

While searching my apache/tomee emails, I found the following tomee-user
topic,

Not loading smtps resource properly[2]

you may want to read that topic and search tomee/openejb user list for
related topics, if you prefer to use geronimo's wrapper jar.

Also, below is my question[3] on tomcat-user list about
SocketTimeoutException and someone's response,

It has nothing to do with Tomcat; it's your webapp that opened the
connection to Google - Tomcat is completely unaware of it.  Whether it's a
Google limitation or a bug in your webapp can't be determined from just the
stack trace.  Best if you could get a network traffic capture for the
incident and see if the request to Google is malformed, which might well
result in the Google server ignoring it.
