My email notifications were not working. Throwing a big bad exception copied below. Turns out
you really do have to move the two jars in step 4.2 as the text says, despite the unix "cp"
command versus "mv" and the lack of a del command in Windows. I lost a bit of time on this.
The error trace complaining of a bad typecast was the clue that two classes of the same name
had been used, one to initialize and the other to run. Deleting the original copies in WEB-INF/lib
and restarting the webapp fixed the issue.
STEP 4.2: Install JavaMail and Activation jars
If you like to use Roller's e-mail notification features, you'll need to add the JavaMail
and Activation
jars to your application server's classpath. Currently, we ship these jars with Roller, so
move them from
the Roller WEB-INF/lib directory and into the Tomcat common/lib directory.
UNIX example
% cp $ROLLER/WEB-INF/lib/mail.jar $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib
% cp $ROLLER/WEB-INF/lib/activation.jar $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib
Windows example
c> cp %ROLLER%\WEB-INF\lib\mail.jar %CATALINA_HOME%\common\lib
C> cp %ROLLER%\WEB-INF\lib\activation.jar %CATALINA_HOME%\common\lib
The big bad exception with the jars left in WEB-INF/lib:
ERROR 2006-03-26 01:04:45,788 StandardWrapperValve:invoke - Servlet.service() for servlet
