Specify Mail Resource Dialog Box
See Also
You use this dialog box to automatically generate code that sends an e-mail
from a Java file. You open the dialog box by right-clicking a Java file in the
Source Editor and choosing Enterprise Resources > Send E-mail. The file must
be in an EJB module project or a standard web application project. You cannot
generate e-mail code in a free-form web application project.
You use the dialog box as follows:
- Under Service Locator Strategy, specify whether to generate inline lookup
code or use an existing service locator. You can click Browse to search
for the service locator class name.
- Click OK.
The IDE creates two methods:
- getSession. Looks up the mail resource and creates
a mail session.
- sendMail. Constructs and send the e-mail.
The IDE also registers the resource reference in your module's general
deployment descriptor.
- In your code, call the sendMail method and pass the e-mail address,
subject, and body as parameters.
- You have to configure the mail resource on the application server yourself.
If your project's target server is the Sun Java System Application Server/GlassFish, the IDE automatically
configures the resource reference in the application-specific deployment descriptor.
If you are deploying to a different application server, you have to configure
the server-specific deployment descriptors yourself.
