hi herman,

Earlier I used to send to single email address successfully by the following code in Struts Action and Spring's Email delegate.

in Struts Action, I used to get the to, from, subject and body and I sent to email delegate

Struts Action:

  propertyReader = PropertyReader.getInstance();
String from_Address = propertyReader.getProperty(WebConstants.FROM_ADDRESS);
String to_Address = emailForm.getEmailTo();
String mail_Body =  emailForm.getMessage();
String mail_Subject = emailForm.getSubject();
//String mail_Body = vo.getFirstName()+" thought you would be interested in knowing about the new Fiskars School Supply List Builder tool."+
//"You can learn more about it at <a href="http://supplylistbuilder.fiskarsschool.com.";" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://supplylistbuilder.fiskarsschool.com.";</a>
log.debug("From Address " + from_Address);
log.debug("To Address " + to_Address);
log.debug("Mail Subject " + mail_Subject);
log.debug("Mail Body " + mail_Body);
emailDelegate.sendMessage(from_Address,to_Address,mail_Subject, mail_Body);  

Email delegate:

 private MailSender mailSender;
private SimpleMailMessage mailMessage;
 
private String host;
private String fromAddress;
private String toAddress;
private String subject;

public String getFromAddress() {
return fromAddress;
}
public void setFromAddress(String fromAddress) {
this.fromAddress = fromAddress;
}
public String getHost() {
return host;
}
public void setHost(String host) {
this.host = host;
}
public SimpleMailMessage getMailMessage() {
return mailMessage;
}
public void setMailMessage(SimpleMailMessage mailMessage) {
this.mailMessage = mailMessage;
}
public MailSender getMailSender() {
return mailSender;
}
public void setMailSender(MailSender mailSender) {
this.mailSender = mailSender;
}
public String getSubject() {
return subject;
}
public void setSubject(String subject) {
this.subject = subject;
}
public String getToAddress() {
return toAddress;
}
public void setToAddress(String toAddress) {
this.toAddress = toAddress;
}

public void sendMessage(String from, String to, String subject, String body) throws TeacherEmailException {
try {
LOG.debug("sending a mail from Email Manager");
LOG.debug("From : "+from +"\t"+"To :" + to + " Sub:"+subject+"Body: "+body);
mailMessage.setFrom(from);
mailMessage.setTo(to);
mailMessage.setSubject(subject);
mailMessage.setText(body);
mailSender.send(mailMessage);
LOG.debug("mail sent");
}
catch (Exception e) {
LOG.error("Exeption Occurred in sendMessage \n Exception: "+e.toString());
throw new TeacherEmailException(e.getMessage(),e);
}
}   

in Application Context file:

   <bean id="mailSender" class="org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailSenderImpl">
  <property name="host" value="10.5.50.188"/>
</bean>

<!-- this is a template message that we can pre-load with default state -->
<bean id="mailMessage" class="org.springframework.mail.SimpleMailMessage">
  <property name="from" value="[e-mail]"/>
  <property name="subject" value="Your Password"/>
</bean>
 
<bean id="emailDelegate" class="com.fiskars.teacherstools.delegate.EmailDelegate" singleton="false" >
<property name="mailSender">
        <ref bean="mailSender"/>
     </property>
     <property name="mailMessage">
        <ref bean="mailMessage"/>
     </property>
</bean> 

please see the above code and give me a possible solution.

here what I'm thinking is, we can multiple email addresses by seperating with comma, and in Struts action we will split them to each email address and I will send to each one in a for loop. is that make sense? if any alternative please advice me

hi,

look at Spring's javadoc:
SimpleMailMessage has 2 methods setTo. One that takes 1 String, and another that takes an array of Strings.

Hope this helps.

hi Herman,
Excellent..! its working for multiple email to addresses.

I just took Stringtokenizer and i separated by comma and attached them to an array.

perfect..


thank you very much.. not even I checked documentation, its all my fault.
