Could somebody please give me a quick summary of how to install Sun's JavaMail implementation
into geronimo? Or a web link that explains how?
The tutorial I found at IBM's site did not work out for me, probably because it relates to
an older version. I couldn't find anything else that was comprehensive (that is that did
not already assume I knew how to configure things about geronimo)
I am a new geronimo user. I got the 1.0 tar.gz and unzipped it into /usr/local on my Linux
Fedora Core 2 server. I do not know much beyond that.
Background on how far I got so far: A short mail program didn't work because it complained
about not finding "smtp." I read the mailing lists on this, and understood that you can't
include Sun's impl. due to license issues. Next I downloaded Sun's implementation mail.jar
and activation.jar and put them in the WEB-INF/lib directory of my web-app. That made things
smoother, but not close to perfect. The problem was that certain methods were unimplmented
(something like setting the file name of an attachment.) More importantly, attachments that
I create show up weird in my email as if they were one large chunk of plain-text. When I
ran the same code through jboss, they came through normal as separate attachments and also
setting the file name of the attachment worked fine.
If only I could install the Sun implementation into geronimo, I wouldn't need to revert back
to jboss. (plaintive whine intended to earn sympathy from jboss-disliking-gernonimo-gurus)
Thanks,
Anjul.
