JavaMailSender timeout

[Archi]

hello,

I am sending mails via the JavaMailSender interface, and i would like to set a timeout property if the smtp server is not responding.
Is there a way to set this in the bean definition in the context.xml or somewhere else?

<bean id="mailSender"
class="org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailS enderImpl">
<property name="host"><value>...</value></property>
</bean>


thx in advance

Archi,

Try and change your bean def. to:

<bean id="mailSender" class="org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailS enderImpl">
<property name="host"><value>...</value></property>

<property name="javaMailProperties">
<props>
<prop key="mail.pop3.connectiontimeout">30000</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>

Or maybe <prop key="mail.pop3.timeout">30000</prop>

Hope that helps,

Steve

Archi,

As Steve says, to control timeout you need to pass in a JavaMail environment parameter to the JavaMailSender which is then passed on to the underlying JavaMail Session. To control SMTP connection timeout you need the mail.smtp.connectiontimeout parameter.

See Sun's SMTP Docs for a full list of SMTP configuration parameters.
