Domino Mail Provider in Websphere v5

By mail provider, do you simply mean an object class that sends mail for you?  I don't think there's a simple class for that, but if you work through the Domino classes, it isn't that hard.

First thing is to get yourself set up with the Domino classes.  They are available if you have a Notes or Domino executable installed on the local box or you can use a CORBA implementation.  The jar files are Notes.jar and NCSO.jar.  Once you have basic session initialization cofirmed, you can do a mail message as follows:

1) get a handle to a database object -- any database object -- the server's mail.box would be fine
Document doc = databaseObject.createDocument;
doc.replaceItemValue ( "Form" , "Memo");
doc.replaceItemValue ( "Subject", "re: something or other");
doc.replaceItemValue ( "Body" , "Tet of message, if all you need is plain text");
doc.send ( "address of a single recipieent" )

Oops, left out params on first line:

Document doc = databaseObject.createDocument();

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, but I've done that already. In Websphere there's a way to setup mail providers so you can use JavaMail to send email. This makes it easy for the administrator to change the mail server, and use whichever mail protocol they have installed without recoding. If there isn't a way of doing this with Websphere then I guess I'm going to have to do it the way you suggested. Although I would prefer to use the mail provider.

I'm not familiar with that, tehre probably is one for Notes, but you would have to ask a websphere admin.

CRAK,

Go ahead.
