java mail API

[sugard]

This time my task is to send a real message to the specified email address.

The signatures for my method is

void sendEmail (EmailAddress emailAddress, String message)

I have gone through a sun tutorial regarding java mail several times and I can understand what is happening. Though my problem is that I don't know how to implement it.

In the tutorial there is an example code of how to send a message though the method has a different signature from mine. When I try to use the same code several errors evolve.

This is the method that I tried to implement. I know the method is a disaster... There are a lot of errors... :( If some1 can help me how to fix this method it would be really appreciated. This is since the deadline for my task is very soon.. :(

thanks very much for your time.

    public void sendEmail (EmailAddress emailAddress, String message) {
        
  String host = ...;
String from = ...;
String to = ...;

// Get system properties
Properties props = System.getProperties();

// Setup mail server
props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);

// Get session
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);

// Define message
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, 
  new InternetAddress(to));
message.setSubject("Hello JavaMail");
message.setText("Welcome to JavaMail");

// Send message
Transport.send(message);
 

 
        
    }

That code is the demonstration code that comes with the javamail package.
What's wrong with it then? I used that code for starters when I installed the
package. Did you read the accompanying readme file for the installation
instructions? e.g. where to put the .jar etc.

kind regards,
