I'm trying to configure a mail server resource, but I can't seem to get tomcat to honor the custom property values I've provided.
In short, it uses [localhost] as the mail.smtp.host even if I set it to something else (my actual smtp server). Here's the details: My META-INF\context.xml: <Context reloadable="true" antiResourceLocking="true" override="true"> <Resource name="mail/Session2" auth="Container" type="javax.mail.Session" mail.smtp.host="smtp.bogus-domain.com" mail.smtp.auth="true" mail.smtp.user="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" password="myPassword" mail.from="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"/> </Context> (tried this without @override, and also like: <Resource name="mail/Session2" auth="Container" type="javax.mail.Session" /> <ResourceParams name="mail/Session2"> <parameter> <name>mail.smtp.host</name> <value>smtp.bogus-domain.com</value> </parameter> ... etc ... </ResourceParams> ) My WEB-INF\web.xml: <resource-ref> <res-ref-name>mail/Session2</res-ref-name> <res-type>javax.mail.Session</res-type> <res-auth>Container</res-auth> </resource-ref> The relevant code snippet: Context initCtx = new InitialContext(); Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env"); Session session = (Session) envCtx.lookup("mail/Session2"); java.util.Properties sessProps = session.getProperties(); java.util.Enumeration propNames = sessProps.propertyNames(); while(propNames.hasMoreElements()) { String propName = (String) propNames.nextElement(); String propValue = sessProps.getProperty(propName); logger.debug("["+propName+"="+propValue+"]"); } MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session); message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.BCC, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"); message.setSubject("subject"); String messageText = "This is the \n message content"; message.setText(messageText); Transport.send(message); The relevant console trace: 1672 [http-55120-Processor25] [mail.transport.protocol=smtp] 1672 [http-55120-Processor25] [scope=Shareable] 1672 [http-55120-Processor25] [mail.smtp.host=localhost] 1672 [http-55120-Processor25] [auth=Container] 2674 [http-55120-Processor25] Could not connect to SMTP host: localhost, port: 25; (... Exception stack trace) I'm running tomcat 5.5.12. Also, no changes to $CATALINA_HOME/conf/context.xml no $CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/context.xml.default exists I've checked the docs, searched the archives and googled, still stuck. Can anyone point out where I went astray (on this issue; not in life in general :-P), and what should I do different to make it work? Also, where could I find a DTD-like explanation of the available properties for this resource type?
