Description

I use continuum as tomcat webapp.

If you use a mailserver with authentication, you can define following in the context.xml of your webapp/META-INF:

<Resource name="mail/Session"
auth="Container"
type="javax.mail.Session"
mail.smtp.auth="true"
mail.smtp.host="mailserver"
mail.smtp.port="25"
mail.smtp.user="username"
password="password"/>

The problem is, that the parameter password will be ignored. I found the problem in:

org.codehaus.plexus.mailsender.javamail.JndiJavamailMailSender.getSession

->

Context ctx = new InitialContext();
Session s = (Session)ctx.lookup(jndiSessionName);

The session doesn't contain a property called "password".

My dirty workaround to solve the problem:

renamed password to mail.smtp.password (in context.xml) and wrote a class which extends JndiJavamailMailSender with overriden getSession:

public Session getSession() throws MailSenderException

{ Session sess = super.getSession(); Properties prop = sess.getProperties(); prop.setProperty(JndiJavamailMailSender.MAIL_SMTP_PASSWORD, prop.getProperty("mail.smtp.password")); return Session.getInstance(prop, null); }

Maybe you set the value of the constant MAIL_SMTP_PASSWORD to "mail.stmp.password" and everything is fine!
