This is my code that generate this error:

   public static void sendMailApache(String protocol, String host, String port, String userName, String password, 
           String subject, byte[] content, String para, String cc, String co) {
       try {
           final Email email = new SimpleEmail();
           email.setHostName(host);
           email.setSmtpPort(Integer.parseInt(port));
           email.setTLS(true);
           email.setSSL(false);
           email.setAuthenticator(new DefaultAuthenticator(userName, password));
           email.setFrom(userName);
           email.setSubject(subject);
           email.setCharset(org.apache.commons.mail.Email.ISO_8859_1);

           for (String str: para.split(";")) {
               email.addTo(str);
           }
           for (String str: cc.split(";")) {
               email.addCc(str);
           }
           for (String str: co.split(";")) {
               email.addBcc(str);
           }
           email.setMsg(content.toString());
           email.send();
       } catch (EmailException e) {
           throw new RuntimeException(e);
       }
    }

What this error means? What I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

It means you can't use an threads that are not created by ThreadManager . In your case you're trying to use a ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor which by default would use "illegal" threads.

You'll need to supply a ThreadFactory from the ThreadManager (most likely the backgroundThreadFactory() ), so the threads created are "proper" threads and GAE doesn't complain.

Answer 2

Try commenting the com.google.appengine dependency and try again. Hope it works.

<dependency>
        <groupId>com.google.appengine</groupId>
        <artifactId>appengine-api-1.0-sdk</artifactId>
        <version>...</version>
</dependency>
