Spring Mail and Gmail SMTP server

Spring Mail and Gmail SMTP server

In case you need to use Spring Mail with Gmail SMTP server, first of all configure a mail sender bean:

<!-- Mail Sender -->
<bean id= "mailSender" class= "org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailSenderImpl" >
  <property name= "host" value= "${mail.host}" />
  <property name= "port" value= "${mail.port}" />
  <property name= "username" value= "${mail.username}" />
  <property name= "password" value= "${mail.password}" />
  <property name= "protocol" value= "${mail.protocol}" />
  <property name= "javaMailProperties" >
    <props>
      <prop key= "mail.smtps.auth" >true</prop>
      <prop key= "mail.smtps.starttls.enable" >true</prop>
      <prop key= "mail.smtps.debug" >true</prop>
    </props>
  </property>
</bean>

We could take to a property file the relevant properties:

mail. host = smtp. googlemail . com
mail. port = 465
mail. username = yourUsername
mail. password = yourPassword
mail. protocol = smtps

Let’s see an integrational test for this:

public class SimpleMailSenderTest extends AbstractDependencyInjectionSpringContextTests {
   protected MailSender mailSender ;
   public SimpleMailSenderTest () {
    setPopulateProtectedVariables ( true );
   }
  @ Override
   protected String [] getConfigLocations () {
     return new String [] { ”applicationContext. xml ” };
   }
   public void testSendEmail () throws Exception {
    SimpleMailMessage simpleMessage = new SimpleMailMessage ();
    simpleMessage. setFrom ( ”fromEmail” );
    simpleMessage. setTo ( ”toEmail” );
    simpleMessage. setText ( ”Testing text” );
    simpleMessage. setSubject ( ”Testing subject” );
    mailSender. send ( simpleMessage );
   }
}

In case we have a template for sending these emails we could define a template message bean:

<bean id= "templateMessage" class= "org.springframework.mail.SimpleMailMessage" >
  <property name= "from" value= "fromAddress" />
  <property name= "to" value= "toAddress" />
</bean>

Alternatively, we could also specify replyTo, cc, bcc, sentDate, subject and text.

How to exclude .svn folders from project -Eclipse

I’ve just began using Eclipse instead of IntelliJ and one thing had me stumped for an hour. My src folder was under SVN but my bin folder wasn’t, however when I compile, the tortoise plugin for windows explorer suddenly showed the bin folder as under SVN with an exclamation over the folder icon. What was going on? It appears that when Eclipse builds, it copies any files and folders form the src folder to the bin folder including the .svn hidden folders. I had just about given up with Eclipse then I started hunting for a way to manually exclude the .svn folders from the build. A few attempts at making my own exclude pattern which only worked in a few cases I finally found this neat solution on the web:

Modify the project’s java build path to exclude the pattern **/.svn/

Here’s complete directions:
Project / Properties / Java Build Path / Source / unfold your project / Excluded / Edit / Exclusion patterns / Add / “**/.svn/*”
