SendMailServlet example & server setup ?

Thread view: 
Dado - 24 Jun 2006 13:49 GMT
I tried this example :

// import the JavaMail packages
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;

// import the servlet packages
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

// import misc classes that we need
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

public class SendMailServlet extends HttpServlet {
   String smtpServer;

   public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
   {
       super.init(config);

       // get the SMTP server from the servlet properties
       smtpServer = config.getInitParameter("smtpServer");
   }

   public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
                      throws ServletException, IOException
   {
       // get the message parameters from the HTML page
       String from = req.getParameter("from");
       String to = req.getParameter("to");
       String subject = req.getParameter("subject");
       String text = req.getParameter("text");

       PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
       res.setContentType("text/html");

       try {
           // set the SMTP host property value
           Properties properties = System.getProperties();
           properties.put("smtp.mail.yahoo.com", smtpServer);

           // create a JavaMail session
           Session session = Session.getInstance(properties, null);

           // create a new MIME message
           MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);

           // set the from address
           Address fromAddress = new InternetAddress(from);
           message.setFrom(fromAddress);

           // set the to address
           if (to != null) {
               Address[] toAddress = InternetAddress.parse(to);
               message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, toAddress);
           }
           else
               throw new MessagingException("No \"To\" address specified");

           // set the subject
           message.setSubject(subject);

           // set the message body
           message.setText(text);

           // send the message
           Transport.send(message);

           out.println("Message sent successfully.");
       }
       catch (AddressException e) {
           out.println("Invalid e-mail address.<br>" + e.getMessage());
       }
       catch (SendFailedException e) {
           out.println("Send failed.<br>" + e.getMessage());
       }
       catch (MessagingException e) {
           out.println("Unexpected error.<br>" + e.getMessage());
       }
   }
}

and got this:

type Exception report

message

description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it
from fulfilling this request.

exception

java.lang.NullPointerException
    java.util.Hashtable.put(Hashtable.java:396)
    SendMailServlet.doPost(SendMailServlet.java:40)

    org.netbeans.modules.web.monitor.server.MonitorFilter.doFilter(MonitorFilter.java:362)
with :          properties.put("smtp.mail.yahoo.com", smtpServer);in line
40.That is my first servlet so if you be so kind to give me a detailed
answer.

The problem is that you need a mail server that can send the mail.  You
are supposed to have found one, and configured the context init param
called smtpServer with the address of that mail server.  You haven't
done so, and therefore smtpServer remains null, which generates the
error above when you try to add it to a list of properties to send mail.

The solution is to add this parameter to web.xml (or some web container
config file, such as Tomcat's server.xml).

I put:
      <Resource name="mail/Session" auth="Container"
type="javax.mail.Session" mail.smtp.host="mail.iskon.hr" />
inside
     </Host>
   </Engine>
tags

as I find on Net and restart Tomcat. Then I noticed that tomcat log gives
me:

>>>     }

Your code is looking for servlet init parameter smtpServer.

>I put:
>       <Resource name="mail/Session" auth="Container"
>type="javax.mail.Session" mail.smtp.host="mail.iskon.hr" />
>inside
>      </Host>

And you're setting something completely else. Please do set the
servlet init parameter smtpServer (this setting goes in web.xml).

So if I understand correctly I need to put
>>       <Resource name="mail/Session" auth="Container"
>>type="javax.mail.Session" mail.smtp.host="mail.iskon.hr" />

into web.xml (of web application)

and
<Resource name="mail/testMail"
       auth="Container"
       type="javax.mail.Session"
       mail.smtp.host="mail.iskon.hr"
       mail.smtp.port="25"
       mail.transport.protocol="smtp"
       mail.smtp.auth="true"
       mail.smtp.user="login"
       password="password"/>

into server.xml

I did, but still have:

java.lang.NullPointerException
    java.util.Hashtable.put(Hashtable.java:396)
    SendMailServlet.doPost(SendMailServlet.java:40)
    javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:709)

Sorry to be blunt, but you're not. You're heavily mixing two ways of
doing things, and the ends are not meeting.

>I need to put
>>>       <Resource name="mail/Session" auth="Container"
[quoted text clipped - 12 lines]

These look like you're setting up the javax.mail system as a subsystem
of your server. Yes, you can do it this way as well, and this isn't
necessarily a bad idea. However, the mapping of server resource to the
application (the web.xml part here) is not correct, and your application
isn't even trying to access this (you'd need to look up this resource
using JNDI calls, and then just use the retrieved mail session).
Instead, your application is trying to do a full javax.mail subsystem
setup by itself (yes, you can do it that way as well, and then the above
web.xml and server.xml blocks are not needed), but is missing a servlet
init parameter (from web.xml) which the code expects to use.

Decide which way you're going to do it -- a server resource used via
JNDI lookup from the application, or an application-private resource
fully initialised within the application. In the former case it could
be that you're not getting as complete control of the javax.mail
subsystem as with the latter, but most possibly the latter will
involve more code, and is less efficient and elegant than the former.
The former, however, will require you to read up and understand the JNDI
parts of Tomcat documentation from both server configuration and
application developer point-of-view.

Thanks for theory but this is supposed to be my first servlet so I need
concrete answer if I have this servlet:

// import the JavaMail packages
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;

// import the servlet packages
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

// import misc classes that we need

public class SendMailServlet extends HttpServlet {
   String smtpServer;

   public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
   {
       super.init(config);

       // get the SMTP server from the servlet properties
       smtpServer = config.getInitParameter("smtpServer");
   }

   public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
                      throws ServletException, IOException
   {
       // get the message parameters from the HTML page
       String from = req.getParameter("from");
       String to = req.getParameter("to");
       String subject = req.getParameter("subject");
       String text = req.getParameter("text");

       PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
       res.setContentType("text/html");

       try {
           // set the SMTP host property value
           Properties properties = System.getProperties();
           properties.put("mail.smtp.host", smtpServer);

           // create a JavaMail session
           Session session = Session.getInstance(properties, null);

           // create a new MIME message
           MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);

           // set the from address
           Address fromAddress = new InternetAddress(from);
           message.setFrom(fromAddress);

           // set the to address
           if (to != null) {
               Address[] toAddress = InternetAddress.parse(to);
               message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, toAddress);
           }
           else
               throw new MessagingException("No \"To\" address specified");

           // set the subject
           message.setSubject(subject);

           // set the message body
           message.setText(text);

           // send the message
           Transport.send(message);

           out.println("Message sent successfully.");
       }
       catch (AddressException e) {
           out.println("Invalid e-mail address.<br>" + e.getMessage());
       }
       catch (SendFailedException e) {
           out.println("Send failed.<br>" + e.getMessage());
       }
       catch (MessagingException e) {

       }

}

            replicationMode = can be either 'pooled', 'synchronous' or
'asynchronous'.
                              * Pooled means that the replication happens
using several sockets in a synchronous way. Ie, the data gets replicated,
then the request return. This is the same as the 'synchronous' setting
except it uses a pool of sockets, hence it is multithreaded. This is the
fastest and safest configuration. To use this, also increase the nr of tcp
threads that you have dealing with replication.
                              * Synchronous means that the thread that
executes the request, is also the
                              thread the replicates the data to the other
nodes, and will not return until all
                              nodes have received the information.
                              * Asynchronous means that there is a specific
'sender' thread for each cluster node,
                              so the request thread will queue the
replication request into a "smart" queue,
                              and then return to the client.
                              The "smart" queue is a queue where when a
session is added to the queue, and the same session
                              already exists in the queue from a previous
request, that session will be replaced
                              in the queue instead of replicating two
requests. This almost never happens, unless there is a
                              large network delay.
       -->
       <!--
           When configuring for clustering, you also add in a valve to
catch all the requests
           coming in, at the end of the request, the session may or may not
be replicated.
           A session is replicated if and only if all the conditions are
met:
           1. useDirtyFlag is true or setAttribute or removeAttribute has
been called AND
           2. a session exists (has been created)
           3. the request is not trapped by the "filter" attribute

           The filter attribute is to filter out requests that could not
modify the session,
           hence we don't replicate the session after the end of this
request.
           The filter is negative, ie, anything you put in the filter, you
mean to filter out,
           ie, no replication will be done on requests that match one of
the filters.
           The filter attribute is delimited by ;, so you can't escape out
; even if you wanted to.

           filter=".*\.gif;.*\.js;" means that we will not replicate the
session after requests with the URI
           ending with .gif and .js are intercepted.

           The deployer element can be used to deploy apps cluster wide.
           Currently the deployment only deploys/undeploys to working
members in the cluster
           so no WARs are copied upons startup of a broken node.
           The deployer watches a directory (watchDir) for WAR files when
watchEnabled="true"
           When a new war file is added the war gets deployed to the local
instance,
           and then deployed to the other instances in the cluster.
           When a war file is deleted from the watchDir the war is
undeployed locally
           and cluster wide

What I need to add/change in a code above ? All I find with google unclearly
describe the backend setup and describes only the code.  I'm a newbie with
servlets so I really can't wrote tomcat setup from a head . I need concrete
code.

p.s.
I didn't wont to be rude

Well, the concrete answer is still what I wrote yesterday:

Your code is looking for servlet init parameter smtpServer.

And you're setting something completely else. Please do set the
servlet init parameter smtpServer (this setting goes in web.xml).

On servlet init parameters, check the servlet specification (which
should be required material for anyone trying to do anything with
servlets, just to get the basic knowledge and terminology in place),
or for a more just-on-topic-for-this answer, see
http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2001/04/19/tomcat.html?page=4

... and just forget about those <Resource ...> blocks in server.xml.
You're not using them anywhere in the code you've shown us.
