Problem for accesing EXCHANGE SERVER through java !!

[Saurabh Agrawal]

Hello friends,
I am back here with a query and i hope you all would revert back as soon as possible as it is a very urgent requiremnet in my project .
"I NEED TO ACCESS THE EXCHANGE SERVER AND PERFORM THE OPERATIONS LIKE ACCESSING MAILS AND THAT TOO USINGA JAVA PROGRAM "
So can anyone suggets me the complete approach to develop such an application.
I have heard of a tool named JINTEGRA which provides the mapping between JAVA and EXCHANGE SERVER.
Hoping for a detailed solution from you guys as this is an interesting application.
Thx,
SAurabh

This depends how much of Exchange's functionality you need to use. If all you require is email send/receive then treat Exchange as you would any SMTP/POP3 mail server and use the JavaMail API for this. If you need the extended set of Exchange functionality you are right you need a Java-COM bridge and JIntegra is a good one, but it is about $3000 for the initial licence. There are other bridges out there, have a google for "Java COM bridge" and you see.

check out the javamail API (which comes with J2EE but can also be found as a standalone download, get JAF as well in that case).
If your exchange server supports POP3 and SMTP that's all you need.
