Getting "Lookup Error Name comp/env/mail not found in context "java:"." error

[mamata surapaneni]

Hi Friends,

I am getting the "Lookup Error Name comp/env/mail not found in context "java:"., Failed to lookup the configuration path" error in the servlet.

The lines of code is
try{
Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
mailHost = (String) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env/mail/mail_02");

} catch (NamingException e) {
AtlasLogger.info(
"DMUMail: Failed to lookup the configuration path");
AtlasLogger.error("DMUMail: Lookup Error " + e.getMessage());
}

Please advise me.Thanks.

Looks like you're trying to get the default mail session from your container.

What container are you using?

I am using WSAD.

It looks like you are trying to lookup a web application environment variable. Environment variables are set up in your web.xml file. Try adding something like this to your web.xml file:

<env-entry>
  <env-entry-name>mail/mail_02/</env-entry-name>
  <env-entry-value>/opt/mypath</env-entry-value>
  <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
</env-entry>
