    Description

      I use continuum as tomcat webapp.

      If you use a mailserver with authentication, you can define following in the context.xml of your webapp/META-INF:

      <Resource name="mail/Session"
      auth="Container"
      type="javax.mail.Session"
      mail.smtp.auth="true"
      mail.smtp.host="mailserver"
      mail.smtp.port="25"
      mail.smtp.user="username"
      password="password"/>

      The problem is, that the parameter password will be ignored. I found the problem in:

      org.codehaus.plexus.mailsender.javamail.JndiJavamailMailSender.getSession

      ->

      Context ctx = new InitialContext();
      Session s = (Session)ctx.lookup(jndiSessionName);

      The session doesn't contain a property called "password".

      My dirty workaround to solve the problem:

      renamed password to mail.smtp.password (in context.xml) and wrote a class which extends JndiJavamailMailSender with overriden getSession:

      public Session getSession() throws MailSenderException

      { Session sess = super.getSession(); Properties prop = sess.getProperties(); prop.setProperty(JndiJavamailMailSender.MAIL_SMTP_PASSWORD, prop.getProperty("mail.smtp.password")); return Session.getInstance(prop, null); }

      Maybe you set the value of the constant MAIL_SMTP_PASSWORD to "mail.stmp.password" and everything is fine!
