使用Java从动态Web应用程序发送邮件

Question

I wanted to send email to other mail account such as hotmail, google from dynamic web application in java. I am using Tomcat as local server. How can I achieve from my local server by using Tomcat. I tried using JavaMail but it is not working. Is there any way to achieve this simply without adding additional servers.

Answer 1

Firstly, you need to have two dependencies in your classpath: javaee.jar and mail.jar. They are available on maven repository:

<dependency>
<groupId>javax.mail</groupId>
<artifactId>mail</artifactId>
<version>1.4.7</version>

<dependency>
<groupId>javax</groupId>
<artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
<version>7.0</version>

Secondly, for examples on using java mail api, check this link: http://www.mkyong.com/java/javamail-api-sending-email-via-gmail-smtp-example/
