[opencms-dev] email question

[Alexis Torreno]

Hello Robert,

Thanks for the response. I wasn't very clear about my syntax error, allow me
to clarify:

I have this snippet:

try{
 email.send();
} catch (EmailException e)
 [code goes in here]
}

Now, when I run my JSP, I get a compile-time error, because java doesn't
like EmailException (i.e. cannot resolve symbol).

Okay, should be easy to fix, maybe I just forgot to import something? I am
already importing org.opencms.mail.* and org.apache.commons.mail.*.

Am I missing an import? Do I need an extra jar file in my /lib folder? I'm
sure it's something small

Al

Yes.

But you don't wanna tell which error that is or post some code?

Well, using commons email is pretty straightforward, so I suggest you read
<http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/exception.html>

The only "pitfall" I can think of with commons email is that the
addTo(), addCc() and addBcc() methods take String objects as arguments
while the setTo(), setCc() and setBcc() methods take as argument a
Collection of not Strings but InternetAddress objects. And you need to
specify the email server in IIRC opencms-system.xml.


Regards,
Robert
