AW: [opencms-dev] URGENT - CmsMailer and opencms.properties query

[Petr Hollay]

Hi,
you know that SMTP server is already defined in registry.xml 
and it is used (read) in constructors of CmsMail class.

In registry.xml, look for <smtpserver> element as subelement of <system>.

You can easily add into registry.xml something like:
  <smtpserver-username>myusername</smtpserver-username>
  <smtpserver-password>myusername</smtpserver- password >

after <smtpserver>my.smtp.server</smtpserver>.

Then it can be read in CmsMail (or your own class) using similar Java code
as "smtp" server is already read:
- after: c_MAILSERVER = reg.getSystemValue("smtpserver");
- add for example:
    c_MAILSERVER_USERNAME = reg.getSystemValue("smtpserver-username");
    c_MAILSERVER_PASSWORD = reg.getSystemValue("smtpserver-password");

(big letters only to be consistent with (little bit funny ;-) naming
conventions used there).



When using System.getProperties(), you are reading system properties. 
See JDK docs for description how to work with them.

In this case you would need to use -D Java command line switch, 
e.g.: -DmailUserName=myusername
This could be set using in your TOMCAT/bin/setenv.bat (or .sh on
Linux/Unix), using CATALINA_OPTS - see Tomcat how-to for this.


Ok?

Best regards
Petr
