This may or may not have anything to do with java. To send mail using java one should have a look at the java mail api. I doubt that this is what you want to do.

Have a look at the mailto command and tell us if that's not what you want.

Ah, well then if you are using j2ee then
http://www.javapractices.com/Topic144.cjp is probably what you need.

Hi,
If u are using a Servlet for processing then u need to add the <action> tag in ur Html page above the <body> tag..This is how ur Html page should look like :-

<html>

<form method="POST" action="http://localhost:8000/Geethu/SM">

<body>

<table cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" border="1">
<tr>
<td>To:</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="to" size="30" maxlength="30">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>From:</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="from" size="30" maxlength="30">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Subject</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="subject" size="30" maxlength="30">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<textarea cols="40" rows="10" name="body"></textarea>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
<input type="Reset">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Now depending on wt Http-method(Get,Post ,Head etc.. ) u want to use..the most common being "Get" and "Post"..u mention it in the method-attribute of <form> ..
Here we are using Post and note tht even in the corresponding HttpServlet class u hv to use "doPost()" ..

In the action attribute of the <form> I have given the URL for the HttpServlet which needs to be invoked after hitting the 'Submit' button,
If u r working with J2EE then u must be familiar with the terms URL and that it comprises of : 'protocol','mac hine name and number','port number','resour ces' ,

I have deployed this prg in J2ee server where we have a 'context-root' and 'alias' during deployment to identify the web-application & resource respectively
(in this particular program the resource happens to be the servlet :- SendMailServlet identified by alias -"SM" and I've assumed the context root to be "Geethu") ,

Now wt we are doing is we are collecting the info frm the Html Page and passing it to our Servlet which we hv named: SendMailServlet .java and this Servlet in turn will handle the EMail-send operation.

The Servlet program:-

import javax.servlet.* ;
import javax.servlet.h ttp.*;
import java.io.*;

import javax.mail.*;
import javax.activatio n.*;
import javax.mail.inte rnet.*;
import java.util.*;

public class SendMailServlet extends HttpServlet
{
protected void doPost(HttpServ letRequest request,HttpSer vletResponse response) throws ServletExceptio n,IOException
{
String to = request.getPara meter("to");
String from = request.getPara meter("from");
String subject = request.getPara meter("subject" );
String body = request.getPara meter("body");

sendEmail(to,fr om,subject,body ) ; //call to the sendEmail() method
}

protected void sendEmail(Strin g a,String b,String c,String d)
{
String toSomeone = a;
String fromMe = b;
String subj = c;
String content = d;

try
{
//Set up the default parameters

Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail .transport.prot ocol","smtp");
props.put("mail .smtp.host","--*N-O-T-E*----"); // *Note*:- here u need to write the name of ur smtp_server
props.put("mail .smtp.port","25 ");

//Create the session and create a new mail message
Session session = Session.getInst ance(props);
Message msg = new MimeMessage(ses sion);

//Set the From,To,Date and Subject fields
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress (fromMe)); //from
msg.setRecipien ts(Message.Reci pientType.TO,In ternetAddress.p arse(toSomeone) ); //to
msg.setSentDate (new java.util.Date( ));
msg.setSubject( subj); //subject of ur mail
msg.setText(con tent); //body of ur mail

Transport.send( msg);

msg.writeTo(Sys tem.out);

}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.prin tln(e);
}

}//sendEmail() over

}//SendMailServlet over

First specify the name of ur smtp_Server in the above servlet at the marked posn, compile the sevlet prg, add it to ur web-application, deploy, and chek the o/p

To get a better idea of the classes and methods etc used here u cn refer to the chapter "JavaMail" from the book "Profession al Java Server Programming"

Hope this helps......

Hi,

Have you set the classpath? i.e the path of the jar file of the server that you are using?
For eg:-
I am using J2EE server so my classpath is like this:-
.;C:\j2sdkee1.3 .1\lib\j2ee.jar

If you were using Weblogic then it would be :-
.;C:\j2sdkee1.3 .1\lib\weblogic .jar


so accordingly whichever server you are using do keep the jar file for the same in the classpath , the jar file contains the entire API so without keeping it in the classpath you wont be able to compile successfully, please check ..

[abctech]

Hi again,

I think by mistake I might have specified the classpath for Weblogic incorrectly, but anyways I think you are using Tomcat so you might find the foll link useful

Please do check ...

Hi Anand
Sendingmail using JAVA is very complex. So done it by using the PHP.Its very easy to compare the Java. If you want the Php code i will send it to you. Php code is same like html code.

Reply me if you want the code,

No it's not complex. The java mail API is very easy to use if you know a bit of Java. I think the PHP is easier for PHP developers.
