Hello, I am a first-timer using J2EE and here on coderanch.com and wanted to make a Simple Email-like System which a Registered User can Send Message/Email to another Registered User.
So I wanted to ask for help to how to do it.
I have already my register/login process done but I'm stuck on how to make the Email.
And I have an sample Bootstrap for my UserInterface which I want to use. Please help me I know this is hard since I'm new on J2EE but I will do it. Thanks and God bless for the fast replies.

here's my login/registed code:

package com.email.controller;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.Model;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ModelAttribute;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;

import com.email.dao.UserDao;
import com.email.entities.User;
import com.email.jdbc.UserJDBC;

@Controller
public class EmailController {

@RequestMapping(value = "/home")
	public String home(){	
		return "home";
	}
	
	@RequestMapping(value = "/logout")
	public String logout(HttpServletRequest request){
		HttpSession session = request.getSession();
		session.invalidate();
		return "redirect:/";
	}
	
	@RequestMapping(value = "/")
	public String login(){	
		
		return "/login";
	}
	
	@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST, value = "/")
	public String loginProcess(@ModelAttribute User user,HttpServletRequest request,Model model){
	
		UserDao ud = new UserJDBC();
		User u = ud.getUser(user.getEmail(),user.getPassword());
		
		if(u != null){
			HttpSession session = request.getSession();
			session.setAttribute("user",u);
			return "redirect:/home";
		}
		else{
			model.addAttribute("error","Account does not exist!");
		}
		
		return "login";
	}
	
	@RequestMapping(value = "/register")
	public String register(){
		
		return "/register";
	}
	
	@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST, value = "/register")
	public String registerProcess(@ModelAttribute User user, Model model){
		
		UserDao ud = new UserJDBC();
		if(ud.getUserExist(user.getEmail()) == 0){
			ud.addUser(user);		
			model.addAttribute("message", "Successfully Registered!");
		}
		else{
			model.addAttribute("message", "Email Already Exist!");
		}
		return "register";
	}
	
	@RequestMapping(value = "/composemail")
	public String composemail(){
		
		return "composemail";
	}
	//contacts is another Registered User
	@RequestMapping(value = "/contacts")
	public String contacts(){
		
		return "contacts";
	}
	
	@RequestMapping(value = "/inbox")
	public String inbox(){
		
		return "inbox";
	}
}
