Javamail from a jspdynpro iview

Former Member

Hi,

I have created a jsp dynpro component which uses java mail api and smtp to send emails. We don't have KM installation and hence we have to use java mail.

The iview works fine in 6.0.7.0.0.Enterprise_Portal_Support_Package_7

but the iview throws NoSuchProvider exception in version

6.0.9.0.0.Enterprise_Portal_Support_Release

Stack trace is as follows:


#1.5#000F20191F04007900000808000023630003F37D54E083F4#1112144550592#com.sap.portal.portal#sap.com/irj#com.sap.portal.portal#msivagur01#1411####5b971e70a0b711d9a7e9000f20191f04#Thread[PRT-Async 5,5,PRT-Async]##0#0#Warning#1#/System/Server#Java###SMTPCurrentException

        at javax.mail.Transport.send0(Transport.java:155)
        at javax.mail.Transport.send(Transport.java:81)

I have packaged mail.jar, activation.jar and smtp.jar as part of the par under the lib directory.

I though it could be a version mismatch of the jars and tried removing the jars from the lib directory. But that woudn't work either.

Can you please help?

Thanks,

MS

Prakash,

Here is the code snippet.


			try {

				InternetAddress[] toAddr =
					new InternetAddress[] {
						 new InternetAddress("to@comp.com")});

								while (strTok.hasMoreTokens()) {
									String email = strTok.nextToken();
									toAddr[i++] = new InternetAddress(email);
									
								}

				Properties properties = new Properties();
				properties.put("mail.smtp.host", "comp.smtp.com");

				MimeMessage msg =
					new MimeMessage(Session.getInstance(properties, null));

				// Always the send address is same
				msg.addFrom(
					new InternetAddress[] {
						 new InternetAddress("from@comp.com")});
				msg.setRecipients(
					Message.RecipientType.TO,
					toAddr);
				msg.setSubject(
					"Subject");
				msg.setText(message);

				Transport.send(msg);
				

				
			} catch (Exception nex) {
				logger.warning(nex, "Mail Exception");
			}

Please note that the same code is running fine in the older version.

I agree that the error message says that it cannot find the smtp provider, but I have packages the sun's smtp.jar

Any ideas?

Thanks for your time.

Your code looks fine to me. Try replacing the following line.

MimeMessage msg =
					new MimeMessage(Session.getInstance(properties, null));

to

MimeMessage msg =
					new MimeMessage(Session.getDefaultInstance(properties, null));

Prakash,

I used the Default instance for the session and still the same problem.

Do you think it could be jar version mismatch. To test that I removed mail.jar, activation.jar and smtp jar from the application lib, but then the application is failing because it cannot find the classes.

Hi Munish,

Once you put those libraries in you project then java component uses that instead of going to portal libraries. I don't think it's jar version mismatch. Try pinging your SMTP server from portal server. Is your SMTP server anoynmous.. if not then you have to write a code to logon to your SMTP server.

Hi,

Have you overwritten server properties?? To chack that,

Get the J2EE system properties file from both the versions of EP and compare SMTP provider details.

If you have overwritten the default one the problem may occur.

Sorry to correct you but SMTP Provider has nothing to do with it. He is calling the SMTP server directly from his code.

Prakash and Abdul,

Thanks very much for your time.

My SMTP lets me connects without any authentication. As I mentioned earlier the same code works in QA and not in Production. Both the servers use the same smtp host and hence I wouldn't assume that is not the problem.

Hi Munish,

I did some more research and found out that error is due to mismatch of your library in your project to the one on your portal server. Grab the mail.jar & activation.jar from your portal install directory.

it should be in following directory if your portal is SP4.

C:\usr\sap\P48\JC00\j2ee\deploying\lib

Prakash,

Thanks for your help. In my case I added a sharing reference in the portalapp.xml and that solved the problem.

Thanks,

Munish.

Hi Munish,

I am also facing exactly the same problem.

Can you please tell me what did you add in the sharing refrence property.If you can provide it with the code of your portalapp.xml file, it would be great.

Hi Munish and Prakash,

I am facing the same problem what Munish was facing.

I am having the activation.jar and the mail.jar in the par file which I am exporting to the Enterprise Portal.

The javax.mail classes are thus understood by the EP, but when it tries to send the mail using the Transport, it is throwing the 'NoSuchProviderException'.

To give more details, when I get the list of 'Providers' that are available using the API, I don't get the sun's smtp provider

but instead I get the "[TRANSPORT,smtp,com.sap.engine.services.javamail.library.SMTPTransport]" provider, I guess, that's the reason for the exception.

Can you please tell me, how you solved the problem ? Is there a way to register the sun's provider in the EP system where I am facing the problem ?(I did not find the 'jar' from the list of NetWeaverBinaries, which contains the com.sap.engine.services.javamail. Let me know if you have any pointers on this)

Thanks in advance,

Vijay

Just to log the solution, the issue of not getting the mail providers got solved when I included the smtp.jar in the classpath of the EP server from where the application is trying to send e-mail.

Hi MS,

The error tells me that somehow you the servlet cannot get to your smtp server. Is your SMTP server anoymous? can you post your code. You can use the DynPage code that sends email and it works for me. You only need to put activation.jar and mail.jar in you lib folder.
