Could you please support your question with your code snippet for better understanding.

Does the Managed bean method is getting called or not? If yes then that is the exception you are getting?

If you provide atleast this much information then only someone will be able to help you.

JSF does not provide any sort of email support. To use JSF to generate and send email, use the exact same code that you'd use in a non-JSF application.

In your example, I think that you were hoping to use JSF to format the email body as an HTML email. That doesn't work, however, since JSF formats what's going back to the user's display screen, not what's going out through the mail channel. However, if you do want a template-based email body generator, there are options you can use, such as Apache Velocity. Velocity has its own template language (VTL) that is similar to J2EE EL.

BTW, I have my mail client set to display mail in text-only format to cut down on malware exposures, so I do hope you'll take people like me into consideration.

"privilege" comes from the Latin words for "private" and "law" (legal) and dates to feudal times. To "claim privilege" meant that you were above the laws that applied to the common people.

public static void main(String arg[]){
sendmail m=new sendmail();

m.setEmail("asdasd");
m.setName("g");
m.setSms("aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa");
m.setSubject("test");

}

What exactly do you mean by it does not work?

Are you getting any Exceptions thrown?

Is your "send" method, actually getting invoked on button click/submit?

It could also be that your web-server doesn't allow emailing, via firewall rules or port blocking.

Again, It is quite possible that the server has some port restrictions.

Most web servers will block the standard mail ports to avoid spamming and misuse.
