Description

Not sure whether the component is officially released yet, but I obtained it from the snapshot repo today to test it. I created the skeleton project from the archetype using:

mvn archetype:create -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.servicemix.tooling -DarchetypeArtifactId=servicemix-mail-service-unit -DarchetypeVersion=2008.01-SNAPSHOT -DartifactId=tutorial-mail-su -DremoteRepositories=http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository

I edited xbean.xml to look as follows for the sender endpoint (SMTP server needs no authorisation):

<mail:sender service="tut:mail"
endpoint="sender"
sender="[e-mail]"
receiver="[e-mail]"
debugMode="false"
connection="smtp://mail.example.com" />

When I try to deploy, I get the following within the error output:

<loc-message>Error creating bean with name 'org.apache.servicemix.mail.MailSenderEndpoint#0' defined in file [/opt/apache-servicemix-3.3/data/smx/service-assemblies/tutorial-sa/version_2/sus/servicemix-mail/tutorial-mail-su/xbean.xml]: Error setting property values; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.PropertyBatchUpdateException; nested PropertyAccessExceptions (1) are:
