Hi Emmanuel,
Thank you for the help. But after configuring the JNDI also, I am
getting the below exception while the continuum is trying to send the
mail:

I am posting my continuum.xml as well(conf/catalina/localhost/continuum.xml)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context path="/continuum"
           docBase="C://Program Files//Apache Software
Foundation//Tomcat 5.5//webapps//continuum.war">
<Resource name="jdbc/users" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
           username="sa"
           password=""
           driverClassName="org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver"
           url="jdbc:derby:database/users;create=true" />

<Resource name="jdbc/continuum" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
           username="sa"
           password=""
           driverClassName="org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver"
           url="jdbc:derby:database/continuum;create=true" />

<Resource  name="mail/Session"
           auth="Container"
           type="javax.mail.Session"
           mail.smtp.host="localhost"/>
</Context>

Is changing the application.xml for From names is a mandatory step?

Regards,
Hemant
